| Autumn Leaves Make Me feel Like Dancing |
| |
medium:
Mixed Media on Box Canvas |
| size:
39" x20" |
This original mixed media painting was inspired by African art and wall painting. I have used this kind of abstraction in the past but this time I have worked to create texture and have tried to give the canvas an aged and leather look. I cannot remember ever working on a single painting for so long as this one. It was created using layers of paint each layer being fixed with acrylic gel then subsequent layers added and in places allowing the underlying colours to show through. |

| The Crashing of Waves |

No attempt made to be realistic. Painted using paint and fingers only so that I could not only depict the power but feel the power. I hope the viewer also feels it. |

Concentration; the practice of centering the mind in a single sensation or preoccupation. I hope that this painting helps the viewer to this sense of peace and concentration. If you look very very closely you will see four small musical staves only one of which has notes on it. (Unfortunately it is very difficult to see this on the site ). The others are waiting to be filled by the music of your thoughts. There is also a texture of square symbolic of the inner being and also the world |

| Autumnal Hedgerow |
| |
medium:
Acrylic on Canvas |
| size:
16 x 20 |
This original acrylic painting was again inspired by an autumn walk. I find it so hard to walk far in autumn I am always captivated by the colours and beauty of the seaon. I have to stop and devour it. This was one of those little moments when nature turned to paint for me and I carried the image to the canvas. I hope it captures a moment of beauty for the viewer. |

 Lead Kindly Light |
| |
medium:
Acrylic on Canvas ( Framed and with glass) |
| size:
16" x 20" |
This painting is inspired by walking the coastal path. It is a painting made up of many places and therefore the painting is of nowhere in particular. The title of the painting is a well known song and I feel it and the following line, amid the gathering gloom, speaks about the mood and atmosphere of the work. The peace and the calm of an evening sunset the little boats heading home to anchor. |

| Fractured Dreams |
| |
medium:
Mixed Media on Canvas and framed |
| size:
60cm x80cm |
This painting is a very texture work using a number of different means of adding texture to the canvas. The work is then given a coating of acrylic gel before painting with acrylic paint it is then varnished. The painting although white creates many images during the course of the day with changing light and in the fading light becomes a very new painting. It has a black frame to emphasise the white of the work. |

18 x 24 |
This original Mixed Media work is on a box canvas painted over the edges so that it is ready to hang. The painting has relief work that catches the light in different ways throughout the day changing the painting all the time. Sand had been added to some of the paint to give further texture and feeling. This unique work will brighten any room with a point of interest. This artwork is to be used as an example of a good abstract to students studying advanced art at a university in the USA |

This painting was a new venture in texture for me. I have incorporated into this painting a variety of ways of creating texture some completely new for me. This of course means that every painting will be a one off, unique. |

Another Mixed Media painting using a number of different ways to create texture. This time over three canvas allowing for various combinations and ways of changing the mood and image of the painting. I feel this abstract art is full of motion and can create much emotion hence my title. |
