This is the final piece after several paintings from sketches of a life model. Each time I abstracted the figure until I got to the essence of the model and the strength of form. I like to abstract from original works as you already have a better knowledge of the subject

This is a throw back to a commission painting I did of Weymouth town bridge. The client wanted a modern take on his favourite spot as he use to sail his boat into the harbour and with the bridge go up and down. I wanted to keep it fresh and keep the movement. I found this film hidden in a folder so wanted to share it as it was one of my favourite paintings. This is copy from the original painting.

This is my new work space and Gallery. The gallery is in two sections consisting of my work space and main gallery space. The second part is also the self contained holiday let. When the holiday let is not occupied then this becomes part of the galley space. An opportunity for my paintings that allowed the viewer to see my paintings in situation and the main gallery to be a peaceful space top take time to view art.

Figure of a woman; is an abstract from life drawings. The original drawings are then over a progression of mark making and removing of marks abstracted to boil down to the essence of the subject and mood.
