Work in Progress

On the right is a digital sketch of a panting I've had in mind for a long time. Hopefully some time soon, when I get the time, it'll find its way on to canvas... Until then enjoy 'Water' in its digital incarnation.

New Painting

Throughout the month of May I completed my newest painting Embankment. This painting depicts London's river Thames and the City as seen from Embankment bridge. I created it specifically for some friends who lived in London for some years. The painting is now housed in Melbourne Australia.

Painting Sale

I sold Great Gable during the early part of this month to a private buyer in Mexico. Great Gable is one of my favourite mountains in England's beautiful Lake District. I've climbed it numerous times in all sorts of weathers at many different times of year. The painting was inspired by a particularly lovely morning walk some years ago in early spring. I was especially interested in the way the low-lying cloud appeared to change the dimensions of the valley when looking down the scree slopes.
