Thought you might like to see what I'm upto at the moment. I recently completed the the following paintings and they will be available end of May through Derbyshire Open Arts. Painted these in a confident mood with big bold strokes and resisted the temptation to overwork them, always a temptation.

January 2009

What a cold start to the new year! I visited Harpur Hill near Buxton last weekend. Over night there had been freezing fog and everything above a certain height had been covered with the most beautiful white frost. Took a few pictures on a mobile phone camera, so quite grainy, hope it captures the moment, if not the freezing cold temperature :-) For more pictures click on the one below or click this link




Discovering Colour
Most of my output in the past has used a distinctive pallette limited to a narrow range of colours, much of this is deliberate as the colours match those of moorland and surround areas. I have recently been experimenting with some bold colours as the pictures below illustrate. To be honest I was quite taken aback when I had finished them. They seemed so bright, for me at least! I'd be really interested to hear your views, is too much colour too soon, or do you like this more saturated trend?
