Recent Paintings

I have reduced the quality of the reproduction to improve the download time and so the photographs themselves do not always accurately reflect the richness of colour or the proper definition of line. A larger better quality photograph can be supplied on request if needed. If you like any of the styles here or in the gallery, but can't see exactly what you want, contact me - I will see if I can paint what you would like to order. The paintings are unframed, but a framing service is available.

Archetypes

Jung believed that archetypes structured the subconscious, and were part of the spiritual and unseen mysteries of being.

My paintings are portraits and representations of these forms behind the individual perception of life, and I have tried to capture the archetype as I see it and convey the mood as I feel it.

Landscapes

 

Photographs of landscapes show the view with great accuracy but seldom capture the mood or feeling of the place. My aim is to show the structure and atmosphere behind the landscape.

I have tried to walk in the footsteps of my ancestors and I have strived to see the world through their eyes.

Life In this section I have sought to portray the universal nature of human activity and to bring out the important events and experiences that touch and mould all our lives.

These images have been inspired by researching family history and reaching out to imagine and capture something of the essence of the past.
