New paintings This is the first of what I intend to be a series of paintings on a theme of ancient English rites and rituals. The picture here is of the famous Flora Dance in Helston in Cornwall where hundreds of the town's inhabitants dance through the town in early May to welcome the Spring. This is the children's dance. The painting is 130 x 200cm.
I am also working on a series of ambitious large scale paintings of woodland and trees. The painting below is based on the view from the view from the treetop walk at Kew Gardens.
Above the Trees 125cmx 210cm
The painting below aims to capture the atmosphere of an English woodland in Spring. Based on the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust reserve at Midger Woods with fern fronds just unfurling and bluebells scattered about the woodland floor and wild garlick about to come into flower. Spring woodland - ferns unfolding 130cmx200cm
These trees are standing near the Cotswold Way path above my home in Gloucestershire. It is the middle of winter when the trunks look at their best, a beech on the left and an ash on the right.
This magnificent oak tree is standing in the ancient Deer Park at Berkeley in Gloucestershire overlooking the Severn Vale
