Tiny boat as if designed for (outer) Space - in progress



I'm not needing to rely on wheelhouse structures to create an 'engaging' composition today.
Oddly you can walk by a superdynamic form for years, until you draw it you can't see it..

Tiny boat (narwhal)



I liked the tusk on this old soldier of the beach... So a naive approach to rendering the structure (thinking of scrimshaw)

Fleet - Ahoy - Awkward little bland beggar


















Subject.
Working with great concentration... In a 'knowing' touristic painting style that I'm attempting to re-dignify.

This little one won't finish or re-establish itself - looking like the - "touristic style itself!"- another hour or so... put it up high for a little while...

'Fleet' - Project - new paintings







A new Project.... 'Fleet'

Living as I do on a working beach surrounded by people making a good living from the sea. I have begun a project to joyfully document 'that which surrounds me' - boats, boats and more boats - I envisage 30-40 paintings (mostly tiny 12cm x 8cm) with larger exceptions - Ghost Ship (Higher resolution image on selection)

Dungeness Open Studios - Summer Show


Summer Show from the 5th of July 2007

Paintings allowing beauty without disrupting intention.

Small abstract paintings - Bright colour in a flat landscape - on show Dungeness Studio 2

Humming colours on small canvases in a white space. Ruminations on singular objects or actions.

Our new show is made up of single paintings, diptychs and two groups of four oil paintings on linen or canvas hung to suggest a disparate but coherent group.
