A place to post all my paintings, most done in soft pastels and over the last 10 years. In no particular order and many as i was learning.
Tulips. This is a large painting and very dramatic with the focus on just one tulip, i love soft pastels for the velvet feel you can get with them.

The Daffodil. I painted this one for my mum for mother's day as its one of her favourite flowers. Always so cheerful after the winter.

Trevose. The Cornish coast, looking down to the sea.

The Barn Owl, such beautiful birds.

A Polar Bear

The amazing peacock butterfly

Some Juicy grapes complete with dew drops. This was painted onto black specialist paper, its amazing how the soft pastels still pop in their colour on black.

I painted this one for my brother as he loves surfing and minis, so sort of built a picture around that. This was a very large painting to fit it all in.

Meet the gals!
The gals strip grazing, i painted this for my brother of his own cattle, i wanted to paint it without black and white, so we ended up with cows of blues and purples.

What a picture!
This was also a photo of my brothers animals. Hereford calves. Makes me laugh now at their bizarre expressions! Not sure i got that one right! lol
