Cromer Helter Skelter

1351

Peak District

860

This was painted very quickly and frantically with left-over acrylic paint, from large squeezy bottles, while I was sitting on the ground. Very spontaneous with little thinking.

Dovedale, Peak District

Loches, France



742

West Runton

1377

Quite expressive cliffs and sky. Couldn't be sure originally whether to include figures or not as without any could be a rather scxene. But thyen chose otrherwise.

Ice-skaters, Forum, Norwich

1024

At the time it felt that this was really me approaching that elusive goal in painting - even though I'm not sure what that is.
Very difficult but went well and finished in less than one and a half hours.

Interior, Dorset

1399

No comment.

Cornwall - near St.Ives

836

Painted this scene on a very windy day, placing my easel on the edge of a cliff.
Wonderful colours in the sea and sky.

"The Window" and shops

1409

I'd looked around for ages to find a good scene but finally realised this was it.
Difficult to paint the corner where two streets meet.
Kept it fairly minimalist with little detail in the windows.

Trees, Earlham Road, Norwich



1387 - painted Nov. 2011

Painted from my photo, mostly in one quick session but adding more the next day. I think it's expressive and very startling.
I used quite a lot of strong blue on the trees which some would say it's "wrong", but I thinkn it works.

London Street, Norwich

1376 - Painted Sept. 2011

"The Window" cafe, Norwich

1303 Painted Oct.2010 - Not for sale

The Window is probably the smallest cafe in Britain, possibly in the world.
Painting worked well, expressive and loose.

Ffestiniog, N. Wales

1400

This was painted from a photo of mine. Painted over 3 separate sessions.

Wells Harbour

1185 Painted July 2009

An extremely complicated and detailed subject that it would be impossible to paint a mere illustration - which suits me. A very vibrant and spontaneous painting, partly because of the above but also because I deliberately and consciously painted quickly.

Farmers' Market Norwich Dec 2011

1390

Very expressive. Church is very difficult because of all the detailed structure so after a while I again gave up trying and painted whatever and however I felt.

Cromer

1372 Painted August 2011

Cloudy day initially, gradually becoming hot and sunny. Very difficult, especially the buildings-so much detail to paint. Felt quite pessimistic about how it was working but the began to work. In the end I got so fed up trying to get the buildings "right" that I did almost anything and it workrd really well!

Norwich Market Xmas 2011

1391 - Not for sale

Wonderful, very loose, free and expressive. So much detail in the actual subject (eg fruit and veg) that after a while I gave up trying and painted almost random brush strokes, and it was all the better for that.
I think I've paited the beauty of the subject rather than the mere subject.
