Moonscape Painting

Moonscapes, my favourite type of landscape

Winter Moon over Curbar Edge

Latest painting, I resisted the temptation to over develop this one and it took a surprisingly short time to finish, as always the moon was the hardest, its the edges! And it has to be sort of circular :-)

Derby Open Entries

Its that time of the year already, Derby Open is an annual painting and sculpture competition. I have entered for the past three years, getting entries in the first and third years. Some people get in every year some people try for years without success.

Anyhow here are the two paintings I'm submitting.

Wish me luck :-)


"Into the Woods" 24x24 inch


"Tywyn Dusk" 20x30 inch

The day is ok and the sun can be fun but I live,
To see those rays slip away"

Moorland by Moonlight

Moorland by Moonlight
48 x 30 inches
Acrylic on Canvas
2007

Deep edge box canvas £750.00 available now

Large scale painting (30x40 inch that is 75x120cm)

Dramatic Moorland by moonlight, inspired by my the local Peak District but captures the spirit of moorland by night everywhere. I am drawn to moonlight walks and these inspire expressionist paintings such as this.

This is my largest painting to date and I will be offering this to a gallery mid January 2008

Want to see it in a real gallery? I am happy to arrange viewing and sale through one of my established Derbyshire galleries. Contact me for details. I hope you take this opportunity to own the first of my large canvases.
