An En Plein Air study in acrylics of a view over one of the lakes at Woodland Water, Ancaster on a warm summer's day as I fought off the insects. 20" x 16" on canvas board

Couldn't resist painting this beautiful view across the fields near Woodland Waters, Ancaster a few miles outside Sleaford. I was captivated by the shadows cast on the fields by the clouds in the bright sunshine and the amazing cloud formations. (20" x 16" acrylics on canvas board). Hope you like it :)

A view of Sleaford Sainsbury's at night in acrylics on canvas board 20" x 16". It continues the theme of depicting mundane subjects that might not normally be considered to be 'picturesque' although they have striking visual qualities in their own right.

An acrylic painting on canvas board (20" x 14") of a scene next to the river in Sleaford. Coming back to my obsession with sunlight and the natural world. Wanted the single figure to be anonymous but universal, representative of all people. Tried to capture the sense of solitude and immersion in one's own thoughts. 

Next to the path where I walk my dogs each day an exquisite group of poppies clings to the verge, defying the traffic and punctuating the roadside vista. I wanted to include the context (the lamppost and roadside) along with the gorgeous natural forms to emphasise the uneasy coexistence of the manmade elements of our world, remorselessly continuing to overwhelm the fragile beauty of the natural world represented by our often overlooked wild flowers. This is an acrylic painting 20" x 14"

I've developed the idea of night-time imagery that I started looking at in my painting of Sainsbury's. This is a painting of Sleaford West Level Crossing at night. 20" x 16" in acrylics. Tried to capture the glare of the lights, the shadows stretching across the road and the sense of isolation.
