I have decided to start offering canvas prints of my artwork and have been busy adding them to my website and etsy shop.  I will post the links below if you would like to take a look. Here are a few examples of what is on offer.

Plein Air Painting Day at Cromford, Derbyshire

I went out painting en plein air at Cromford, Derbyshire yesterday.  It was quite a challenge as it is not something I normally do.  I really enjoyed it though and plan to go out more often to paint in the landscape, especially now the weather is improving.  Here are the paintings - both of the same scene with different coloured grounds.

Exhibition News

So sorry I haven't written a post for ages - I will try and post more regularly and I am thinking of creating and posting a painting a day for the next month.  I don't know how realistic this will be but I can give it a try.  In the meantime, here are a few pictures from my exhibition at The Erewash Museum, Ilkeston, Derbyshire which runs from 7-28 May 2015.

Altering Paintings

Sometimes you can think that a painting is finished and then the next time you see it you just have to adjust it.  This was one of those paintings.  It was the subject of a recent post (see below) and has now morphed into this painting after many more layers and glazes of paint.

Feeling Floral

Here is a detail photo of an abstract floral work in progress - it feels a little cold at the moment so I think I shall be warming it up a bit next time I am in the studio.

Latest Painting

This painting has been hanging around for ages as it needed something but I just couldn't decide what to do to it.  Anyway, it called to me yesterday from behind some other paintings and here is the result after yesterday's painting session.  I think it could be finally finished.  I'm a little stuck for a title though so if you have any ideas ....

Abstract Landscape Paintings

I have been working on a few more abstract landscape paintings over the last couple of weeks.  I think my palette is changing and becoming more pastel in nature.  I rather like mixing and using these lighter colours.  Here is one that I have been working on.

Prints Available Via Fine Art America

I have been busy adding prints to Fine Art America so if you fancy a look just click on the link to the right of the page.  I will be adding more as time goes on. 

Here is an image of one of them - it is of a painting I did which I wasn't sure what to do with at the time and I ended up painting over it!  I should have given it a little more time as I like it now.   I decided I would use the image to create a print.

Ideas for prints

I've been thinking about creating more prints of my work.  Here are a couple of ideas from a larger painting.

On the easel today

I have been working on quite a few paintings today.  First up is a detail shot of a large abstract painting.  The other two are a couple of abstract landscape paintings in progress.

More experimentation on paper

I've been doing quite a lot of experimentation with abstracts on paper but I am itching to go larger again.  Here are some of the experiments.  I am thinking about turning some of them into prints but not sure yet which ones to use.  Anyway, here are today's mini paintings.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone.  Here is a painting I completed at the end of last year but I am a little bit stuck for a title so if you have any ideas .....
