Sometimes a painting needs those extra layers or colours to give them that extra depth. I have reworked these ones, by adding extra layers, sanded back, added a line or two…. They are all for sale. Please call for a viewing.

A commissioned painting is ideal when the space suits a specific size, and colours. The theme also reflects the nautical location, and it gives the entrance a welcoming lift.
‘Harbour Crossing’ 1500×1500 in situ.
Revisiting an earlier style of painting, but incorporating every tasty, relevant knowledge I have learnt since.
It is a looser style, which I am enjoying. Always conscious of sound preparation of the surface and background, so it is always ready for whatever the next layer reveals. Loving this process. The art often lies in knowing when to stop.

“A picture lives on many different levels at once. It is an interpenetration of planes of reality. It cannot be analysed or anatomised into single levels, because one level can only be understood in the light of others. The reality or interior life of the picture can only be realised as a total experience”

Blue is such an uplifting colour. It goes with just about everything. Inspiration is everywhere – from the fabulous winter blue sky days; Timothy Oulton’s Noble Souls indigo dyed linen; this gorgeous Pierre Frey fabric; glossy textured subway tiles from The Tile People, to the layers of blue inks in my latest painting ‘When All You Can Hear Is What You Can See’.
After many layers of shellac inks and acrylics the depth is magic. ‘When All You Hear Is What You See‘ is ready for sale. 1200x1200mm on Ply Box Board. SOLD
Well worth seeing is Hannah Jensen’s Wild exhibition at Allpress Studio – It is on until the 27th April. Hannah has carved out the magnificent animals from layers and layers of paint.
