My work includes landscapes  and still lifes, painted directly from observation, and representational and non representational  works in low relief

Landscapes in Italy

la pesciola, morning 30 x 20\" acrylic on paper

These landscapes were painted directly from observation in or near my wife's home village of Gorfigliano in Tuscany. They celebrate the shapes, surfaces, light, colour and atmosphere of the Italian landscape.

Landscapes in Wales

view of treharris 30 x 19\" watercolour


I paint directly from landscape subjects in acrylic and watercolour in the City parks and nearby Valleys of South Wales. These works celebrate the shapes, surfaces, light, colour and atmosphere of the landscape.

Classical reliefs

grotesque 9 x 6\" digital print in relief on cast paper

These images of subjects from classical and other historical sources are manipulated into low relief, then combined with cast paper and sometimes drawn and painted over.

Painted reliefs

microcosm 9.5 x 9.5\" mixed media relief

In these works, I assemble together fragments from a variety of sources, cast into a detailed low relief surface in oil, acrylic and cast paper, and coloured with watercolour and other media.

Bathers

Baptism 22 x 26\" digital print in relief on board

These works portray sequences of bathers at the seaside in Italy. They are processed digitally and the images are then manipulated into low relief.

Still life paintings

seven apples 26 x 16\" acrylic on paper

Most of these paintings are of small groupings of fruit, in direct sunlight, arranged in rows or other simple patterns. Like miniature landscapes, they focus on the characteristic shapes and colours of each piece and grouping of fruit. There are also paintings of ruined, discarded shoes and boots, found by chance, and depicted in oil on paper considerably larger than life size.
