I've just added another website to the Firesharp portfolio. I had the privilege of creating a web presence for the renowned song writer Doug Flett. Doug has worked with a huge range of musicians, including Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Joe Cocker and Tom Jones.

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.

New Firesharp Design website

I've just launched a brand new site for Nnock Global Enterprises. Firesharp was given the opportunity to design and make a website for this web-based enterprise company. My task was to put together a site that was based essentially around three forms (Buy, Sell, Enquire), that would be ultra simple to navigate whilst looking stylish at the same time. Have a look, see what you think...
