Forest Dancer

A friend of mine was walking along a trail and this magical moment presented itself - he snapped a picture and I got to paint it. A Disney moment...

The Cellist

At the opening of our art show last year there was a young girl playing the cello for our entertainment. I hope to have captured the sweetness of the moment.

Lavender fields

This painting was inspired by a town in Southern France.
At 50 x 76 cm it is larger than my usual paintings, and done on a surface that I decided never to use again (Canson Mi-Teintes Touch).

My first Winter scene

I am not a winter person, so I tend to shy away from painting it, but I decided to give it a try.
This is another small pastel painting (18 x 24 cm), painted on PastelMat.

Medieval Towns

I have a fondness for medieval towns. I have visited some, and wish to go back and see more. They feel so organic... sprouting from the hills, with meandering streets and sun filled plazas. Here is the first of the series:

Back on track

It has been a while since my last post... I haven't been idle, simply dissatisfied with the quality of the photos I take of my work. After much investigating, trial and error I decided that (to quote one of my teachers) "a little bit of something is better than a whole lot of nothing" and to post the photos I have, even though they are not great. Keep in mind, then, that the originals are much better than the photos.
So, here we go...
