I am showing four paintings here - it is a gallery just opposite the Minster, and well worth a visit.
Flowery Border with Photinia oil/canvas 70 x 79 cm this is one of many paintings I have made of this border, in this garden in the heart of some of the most beautiful familiar countryside where I have lived and painted for 35 years...... |
Yellow Flags and Ragged Robin oil/canvas 70 x 70 cm
When I was doing this painting - in front of the pond, somehow a different approach forced itself upon me. ..... it is not how I usually paint! That's what happens .....
Catherine's Vase III 36 x 34" oil/board
Catherine's Vase IV 24 x 24 cm oil/board
These chrysanthemums in a beautiful vase that was made by Catherine Vannier - a french potter who exhibited with me at the Alpha House Gallery in Sherborne Dorset . Alpha House was a fabulous gallery started by my very good friend the painter Tony Birks-Hay (www.tonybirks.co.uk) but sadly it is now closed. Times change......
