'Stonehenge In The Sun'

‘Stonehenge In The Sun’

As of many people in the past, and possibly of the future, I have a great fascination with Stonehenge. So much so that whilst redesigning our garden a few years ago we unearthed quite a few old stone path edgers. Being just a little bit weird, I decided they would make a great mini Stonehenge in the corner of our garden- And there they still stand today. On Another occasion, many years ago,  I redecorated one of our living rooms and thought it could do with a focal point – before you knew it there was a 12 foot by 6 foot mural of Stonehenge painted in the style of Constable, again I love it so much it still remains today. Though, the oil painting above was done from a photograph I took on the only actual visit I had to the historical site. Fortunately, the day was beautifully sunny and cast light and shade perfectly on the Old stones!

'Brash or Shy Poppy?'

‘Brash or Shy Poppy?’

Another of My Garden Poppy Original Oil paintings. The first impression I got of this composition, was that the Poppy Bud looks shy and awkward, as if it is hiding behind the open ‘Brash’ Poppy flower in front of it. That is the reason for this picture’s title!

Sleeping Shadows

Sleeping Shadows

Whilst we seem to have very few sunny days around the area I live, when we do I spend my time  (Very quickly-I might add-
as it doesn’t stay very long) trying to capture the sun’s light and shadows on my camera. Then subsequently transferring to canvas. In this instance creating an Oil painting of a small church and graveyard on the fringe of Bolton. Walmsley Unitarian Chapel. The shadows struck me as somewhat symbolic as they gently seemed to rest over the earth, as if silently soul searching and encompassing. The moment seemed all so peaceful, that the light should cast shadows just so touching in this place.

Below is the photograph from which I made the Oil painting.
