Some more recent works from my collection, some are now available to purchase on-line
"How Green is my Valley"
Acrylic on canvas, framed 25 x 30cm £120
A study in greens, this is a view of the Welsh borders, so very similar in a lot of ways to Derbyshire with the lush valleys suddenly sloping upwards to vast moorland expanses.
"My Walking Buddy"
Acrylic on Board, framed 15 x 20cm £120
If you see this little chap nearby you know you’re in the right place - I follow him everywhere over field and hill looking for that next lovely vista.
"Winter Sunlight, Stanage Edge"
Acrylic on Canvas, unframed 30 x 30cm £180 SOLD
If you like walking around the edges of Sheffield, you will probably have been along the ridge at Stanage Edge. A popular afternoon stroll, I often take a walk from above Hathersage and around North Lees, which affords super views up to the edge and also back down to the Hope Valley and the spire of Earls Cathedral.
"Out of Order"
Oil on Canvas, unframed 12" x 12" £230
A pair of old phone boxes hiding at Wingerworth, near Chesterfield. All those negative shapes and textures, sliding purple slates and rotten wood, just what we artists love.
If you know this view, you'll know that to obtain this view you take your life in your hands. That's the "Dragon's Back" on the horizon, and behind that Chinley Churn, near Hayfield, High Peak.
A dull day above Hathersage suddenly turned to fire as the late Autumn sunshine came out, illuminating the tree tops and throwing the lane into dark shadows.
Anybody who has lived in Castleton will know that in Winter time, the sun never shines as the village hides at the foot of a steep hill. Venture out towards the fields though, and the contrast on a sunny day is stunning.
One of my favourite subject combinations - trees, autumn colours and reflections. Also available without frame, please enquire.
"Maritime Graveyard"
Acrylic on Canvas, unframed 16" x 16" £230
As a Derbyshire landlubber this is bit of a departure for me, spotted these wonderful old boats on the river Orwell near Pin Mill, Suffolk, they were just crying out to be painted.
Evening in the Woods - SOLD
Old Barns, Brough
Acrylic on canvas, unframed 7 x 5" £90
I painted these barns before they lost their roof slates - now all gone.
Summer marshes, Derbyshire - SOLD
This is a view up to the Ecton copper mine, near Warslow. A very boggy field full of wild flowers including buttercups and the increasingly scarce ragged robin.
Sheep, Foolow
Acrylic on framed canvas, 8 x 8" £140
A very frosty and cold day, I stopped on my way to work and took a series of photographs. I might have made myself late, but it turned out to be a useful distraction.
Winter Sunlight, Ladybower
Acrylic on Canvas, Framed 12 x 12" £210
Cold shadows lit briefly by the winter sun as it skates low on the horizon
Goddard's Quarry, Stoney Middleton
Acrylic on canvas NFS
A very cool day above the old quarries, this was my favourite place to wander when I lived here, I would find myself sketching and painting the view many times.
