Tree near Ladle Hill (December)

There's this tree on the downs. It's between The Beeches and Ladle Hill, and it's very striking.

Outside The English Barn - SOLD

This is based on a monochrome photograph that I took over a decade ago.

Last orders on Porthtowan

This is a detail from the Really Big Canvas, AKA Porthtowan. A new detail.

Curve - SOLD

The starting point for this was a photograph taken from the beach at Porthtowan when I was there to look at the view from East Cliff.

Trees and Seeds

This is a drawing made from a photograph that I took last Wednesday as I headed out on a longish walk on the downs. The trees may look familiar; they are the "Skyline" trees on Plantation Hill, featured in several of my paintings and drawings.

Some abstracts that I found lurking in a shoebox

Pink

Overgrowth

Both from last autumn, both 5 x 7 inch oils that started off as palette scrapings...

Egg Custard Tart

I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that this particular sort of egg custard tart - deep-filled, dusted with cinnamon, encased in pastry whose waxy texture is like no other, presented in a foil cup case - is uniquely British.

They are rather delicious. In a comfort-food sort of way.
