Tulips - February 2020
This is my second painting of tulips and I've painted it in quite a different way from the first one. This is underpainted in acrylics and then overpainted in oils. The oil paint allows me to blend the tones into each other more gently and to bring out the strength of the colours and the luminosity of these beautiful flowers. Hope you like it. Not for Sale.
Tulips - January 2020
Bought these beautiful tulips from the supermarket and I have tried to capture the sheer impact of their vibrant colours and the energy of their shapes in the vase. Its in acrylics on canvas board (50cm x 40cm). Really pleased with it.

Two Sarahs
Two delightful young women came to the Royal Hospital School to teach and left this world tragically early. The image shows two naval caps (called 'gidges' at the school) at the base of a large candle. A shadowy view of the RHS clocktower places the still-life group into context. In memory of Sarah Lee and Sarah Goodenough. It is said that only the good die young. I expect to live at least another 500 years if all goes well.
