Hare 1 Pete Peg.jpg
Hare 2 Kev & Bev.jpg

We were out in pub with friends, on the wall was a picture of a Hare, Peggy said could you paint that for me.  Sometime later I did the painting on the above, left. You can't see it on screen. I put in some real whiskers embedded in Modelling paste, gives a bit more definition.  I did this on small canvas in mixed media (and whiskers, from broom bristles).

​​

Then other friends of ours Kev and Bev were just moving to a new home. “Hare” being the major part of their new address. Bev, asked if I could do another painting for them, so this was the one on the right, again I put in the real whiskers.  They love it, have it displayed as you come in the front door.

Ragdale Hall No text 29_edited.jpg

I was commissioned to paint this Landscape, it is of Ragdale Hall, Melton Mowbray. Karine gave me a picture of the view she wanted, and loved the painting I had done.

​

I was pleased, as you can see the depiction is reasonable.

This is my Grandaughters dog, all the family say I captured the essence of Chippy.  He was named chip because Ella (grandaughter) was eating chips at the time.  Always thought it was a good name.

Arlington - Blue Bell Wood

Blue Bell Wood SOLD.JPG

I became very friendly working with Vina at the NHS, after both of us leaving we kept in touch following on FB. She posted a picture of the wood and was going to have it printed.  I said I would paint it for her.  She was over the moon.

The Peacock

The Peacock took me 5 months to make.  First I made the canvas, by making a wooden frame then streching, pinning the hessian to the structure.  Then applying gesso, sanding and more gesso.  

​

Once dry I started painting the feathers, with acrylic gold paint to enhance the iridescence.  Finally the head I applied foam clay to give a 3d effect also securing real feathers for the extra appearance of the artwork.  

​

It is enormous:
