View from Denman Studio

This is a quick little palette knife sketch of the view from my studio in Penngrove in the early morning.  I'll be doing a larger version of this scene at some point this summer.

On the Way to Bathpool

This is a palette knife painting of a scene somewhere in Devon, I vaguely recall, that whooshed by me on the train to Plymouth to see friends in Cornwall last year.

Rockettes of the Wild Wild West


acrylic on plywood, 24" x 24"

I took that iPad painting I did the other day, cropped it to a square format, then painted a large interpretation of that, as it seems I wasn't quite done with the subject matter.

Red Roses on Todd's Shelf

acrylic on mounted wood panel, 8" x 6"

This is my first still life in ages.  Now that I have a proper setup, thanks to my good friend and fellow artist Todd West, who built and installed two beautiful shelves in the art studio I'm renting, I will be doing more still life using flowers, such as these intensely fragrant roses that grow right outside the window.  Thank you, Todd!

Shanghai Shimmer

acrylic on canvas, 20" x 20"

Another painting in my China series, and I feel yet another one coming on.  A work in progress, I'm not quite done with this one.
