My lovely cousin, photographer Tim Gander has given me the guest gallery spot on his website.  He has photographed 12 of my paintings and each is available as fine art prints in 3 sizes, 10 x 8" (£40.00): 12 x 16" (£90.00) and 16 x 20" (£120.00).  It is easy to get 'off the peg' frames from major retails to fit these sizes of print.  Check out Tim's gallery at https://www.takeagander.co.uk/-/galleries/guest-artist 

I am continuing my small works on paper series. This is a great time for me to explore techniques, experiment with new ideas and push my work further.  Many new images have been added to my paper gallery, and are priced from £35.00 upwards.  Contact me via the contacts page for more info or to make a purchase (or 2).

I have been working on a series of organic abstract paintings, experimenting with a responsive rather than a planned approach to working.  these are a departure from my more geometric work and have been an enjoyable to work on.  More work can be seen in my paper gallery and these works are priced from £35.00 to £50.00.  Please contact me via my contact page for further details.

Following on from my Pedas workshop at the end of Feburary, I have recently worked with collage using hand printed papers.  Check out my paper gallery for more examples.  These are priced at £75.00 and all are 20 x 20 cm.

I have recently produced a variety of pro marker small images.  In these pieces I have responded to lines made on paper decisively and with energy.  I have enjoyed making this work as much of it is intuitive. Certain aspects may be developed at a later date into paintings, enjoy.  The sizes vary and are priced from £35.00 to £50.00, please contact me for further details.

The conversation, a series of 10 paintings in 5 pairs.  Each canvas is 30 x 30 cms.  The pairs of paintings are similar yet different, offering differing viewpoints as often happens in a conversation. Visually colour and shape demonstrate a unity and at the same time subtle variations add to the overall visual dynamic.  Each painting is for sale at £150.00, £300.00 per pair.  Please get in touch via my contacts page for more details.

Last Thursday I presented a workshop for Pedas.  The artists made work inspired by the work of Picasso & Braque using collage and mixed media.  The 3 images above are the demonstration pieces I made for the evening, the later 2 being collages and the top being a cubist inspired still life paintings.  The collage pieces were made from papers, hand painted by myself.
The painting (30 x 30 cm) is for sale at £150.00 and the collage works (30 x 30 cm) at £110.00.  Please contact me through my contacts page to make a purchase, or if you would like to book a workshop session.

Summer Daze, this is a series of 9 small, 30 x 30 cm paintings.  The bright colours reflect warm summer days filled with water sports, sea, sun & sand, just what we need at this time of year.  The paintings are priced at £150.00 each.  To view all 9, please go to my gallery.  To make a purchase, please contact me through my contact page. Enjoy and feel the warmth!

I am currently working on a series of small paintings.  These are bright colourful abstracts measuring 30 x 30 cm.  The palette reflects the bright colours associated with warm weather and summer days.  I am enjoying the change in scale.  Sea, sky, sun and water-sports come to mind when viewing the work.  What do the paintings bring to mind for you?

A development in my use of circular subject matter. The background consists of several layers of underpainting to give it a multi faceted richness.  Layering paint is also a feature of the large circular areas.  A cascade of bubble like shapes completes the composition.  The painting measures 76 x 60 cm and is priced at £475.00.  Contact me via the contact page for further information.
