Small Holding. 9x12", Oils on board.


I`ve been painting this subject on and off for a week.
I`ve had an Electrician doing some work in my studio
for that period. I managed to do about 15min` each
evening, and it wasn`t comfortable at all. Plus I
had`to keep blowing the dust off of it as well.
I`m not complaining, just moaning.

Coming in to dock. 12x17, oils on board.


Coming in to dock was painted some time ago.
I swapped it with my friend Mariano for one of
his paintings. Great Idea of his. I`m glad he
suggested it.

Shot of our back garden.

Another shot.


This is our Car on our drive.

Snowed under.


I took these photos Thursday morning in the hope that I will be able to do some painting from them. At the moment it is too Icy to take the car out.

Switching off. 12x17, Oils on board.


Another one from Heybridge basin. Painted last year. This is another brilliant venue to paint at. Mind you there usually are a lot of people about so you will get disturbed. I have noticed that the public that are interested in looking to see what you are painting, don`t normally stay too long.

St` Johns Church. 6x8, oils on board.



This is a small 6x8 Snow Scene of St` Johns Church itself, rather than just a landscape. It gets packed out to the seams sometimes.
