Blue and Gold

Blue and Gold, oil on canvas 46 x 55 cm

A reprise, of sorts, of 2016's Gold and Grey, this is a view from a local footpath. These distinctive trees are visible for miles around and are a welcome landmark as well as a favourite subject.

Magnolia

A splodgy acrylic ink sky with "hybrid acrylic" Molotow marker vegetation.

Moonshine

The moon caught in the branches of a stained-glass-tree...

After collecting my daughter from Brownies last night, my thoughts turned to nocturnal trees...

Fencelight

This rather battered fence is by the side of the Wayfarer's Walk near White Hill, Stubbington Down. The colours were influenced - but not enslaved to - the misprint of my photograph when the printer had run out of cyan ink.

Twilight

This time, I used a knife to light up the tree.

Horse Chestnut (Spring Light) - SOLD

A sure sign of spring: the horse chestnut on the nearby playing field is in bud.

(Light) Caught in the Branches

I'm still playing with this idea, of stained-glass trees. I think this is the most subtle so far - slightly ironic considering that one of the reasons that it is subtle is the use of Molotow paint markers alongside tube acrylic. Molotow is a brand associated with grafitti - rarely a subtle artform.

Kingsclere Downs - SOLD

This is the view from (almost) the top of The Dell, a road-cum-track that rises out of the village of Kingsclere in north Hampshire.

Sunset Road - SOLD

I'm really pleased with the way that this turned out. It's based on a photograph from last summer, when I stopped my homeward journey to admire - and photograph - the wonderful sunset.
