Iceberg adrift


This painting is from my own photograph. It depicts a broke away chunk from a much larger piece, and the tone of the water only. The Water tone is created from the shadow of the Iceberg.

Shall I?. 9x12, Oils on board.


This was painted from an Oil Sketch that I did on site. It`s a Village called Chiddingstone. I believe it gets it`s name from a big stone nearby. It`s a rock really.

Farnborough, Kent. 6x8, oils on board.



I did this painting Plein Air this morning at around 9am. I had virtually finished it when a chap with his dog came up and said, could I have a look, naturally I said yes. that was it. no more painting. He told me his life story and I told him some of mine. All I had`to do to complete it was place that little sign in that dark area, so I did it at home. I did enjoy the chat though. The Photo is my kit packed and ready to leave.
