The past few years have seen the production of a considerable number of bigger pictures...   these are statement pieces, great as the centrepiece to a living room, entrance hallway, or hanging in a series in a large public space:  office, cafe, hospital, etc. The image above stands the viewer in the gently breaking surf on Sennen beach in Cornwall, looking out to the Brisons. (100cm x 120cm)

One of the most recent images, after seeing a Peter van Breda image of the Thames. (I love Peter's use of light, and enjoyed meeting him at an exhibition, and talking about those special parts of a picture that make it 'sing': on that occasion, looking at a small painting he was working on of a Stamford street, we both agreed on the same streetlamp!) I based this on his composition, but blew the scale up.  There are elements of this I'm very pleased with, and other parts I will tackle again with more precision in another compostion at some stage. With thanks to Peter for the inspiration.

Llanberis Pass, Wales, in the style of early C19th Romantic painters.  The original artists are likely to have use watercolour: my challenge was to get the same aerial perspective using oil glazes. (90cm x 90cm)

Oil on board, inspired by the Japanese influences on Monet's compositions. (In gilt frame, outer frame dimensions: c 60cm x 90cm)

Oil on board, in a an antique gilt frame, inspired by Monet's series paintings of the Creuse River, this time in winter light, with ice floes on the river. (Outer frame dimensions: c75cm x 100cm)

Oil on canvas of a scene in the Maldives, done as a wedding gift for the family members who honymooned there.
