Eclipse

Charcoal on paper

24"x18"

I love to work with charcoal, its so free and easy.

It welcomes large bold marks and differing shades.

It is also very expressive.

The subject is self explanatory

Heart

Heart

Digital

10"x10"

In this moment I have unfinished work on the easle and have been cocentrating more on digital imagery. Probably due to the fact that I am trying to illustrate a book. so have been captured in the digital mould. Heart is about love and its transparencies, in our everyday life.

Eternity

Eternity

Digital Image

9"x9"

Creative block has kicked in, so the least I can do is try to stimulate my creativity through the use of digital imagery. Eternity represents the repetition of life, at times boring at times safe and at other times unknown. seek and you will find, inspiration? no.....sometimes our surroundings absorbs it from us, and we show our worl to those who have no voice. Ah, but tomorrow is another day, and I would love to hear a comment from anyone out there??

Summer Nights

Summer Nights

22"x10

Acrylic on board

The fading of summer and those hot sultry nights, at times so hot, that you welcome a cool temperature, The colour of the landscape doesn´t change much here, with the passing of the seasons. The hottest time has faded. The reds and hot colours relate to the time of year illustrating the peak summer.

Rest

REST
watercolour on paper
9x9"

Based on a drawing of an orchid, and the colours washed outwith a further piece of detail added.
It is a small piece as it had only been a study sketch, but at times the mind sees other things or meanings, and this is what happened here. I think this became a sub conscious image telling me to rest, after acouple of weeks of feeling unwell.

Tribute

Tribute

Aug 2008

Watercolour manipulated on computer

Overwhelmed by the tragic Spanair aircrash, my thoughts turned to all the people still waiting for their lost ones to be returned to their final resting place. The sadness of it all and my own feelings of this sad event, caused me to create this piece as my own tribute,to the pain and suffering of those touched by this terrible accident.
