Watercolour Artist
I have started to play with some Christmas card designs – not sure yet if I will get any printed – the cost of postage has really depressed the sending of cards, though I am sure we all like to receive them. Sadly, many family and friends have not been visited this year, and a Facebook post is just not the same as a hand written note…..
Could we include a neighbour who perhaps doesn’t have any family close by?
Can we make our tiny corner of the world feel more love this Christmas?
An original A3 watercolour showing a landscape of destruction and displacement, with refugees travelling through a damaged and uncertain landscape in search of somewhere to begin again. the broken road and winter fields lead towards distant green hills, suggesting the possibility of safety, renewal and hope beyond devastation.
If this painting is sold the money will be donated to charity.
This original A4 watercolour painting shows coastline, rugged mountains with misty valleys, and quiet inlets. It is painted in muted colours and neutral tones offering a peaceful scene and changing colours of a hazy day.
Size 32 cm x 42 cm
A moody landscape in water colour with a Scottish feel, where a solitary tree provides an evening roost.
A weathered castle, deep waters and distant hills draw the eye while mixed textures and winter seed heads give the foreground interest. The picture includes stepping stones, old wall and fence posts and paths to discover.
It measures 52×42 cm.
This loose contemporary landscape uses abstract techniques in water colour to capture the stillness of a winter landscape, with pale birch tree trunks contrasting against warm ochre skies and distant fields with muted grasses and reeds in the foreground.

having watched the recent eclipse at Fairhaven Park in Lytham, I took some photos of our famous replica Spitfire
and as the strange light turned to dusk…..
I painted a quick card for my son’s birthday… and another for 1940’s weekend 15/8/26 which quickly sold…
So I have painted this with a view to having a few printed for next summer’s 1940’s event
it was odd being “buzzed” by replica spitfire and hurricane planes while elegant ladies and dapper gentlemen strolled our streets. Quite an event for Lytham St Anne’s !
