A collection of paintings, limited edition prints and greeting cards from all over the Cotswolds, including the Slad Valley, Guiting Power, Turkdean, Kineton, Stroud, Bisley, Brimscombe and my hometown of Painswick. Canal Life Oil on deep edge canvas (30 x 60cm) At Brimscombe, walking the Thames and Severn Canal from The Felt Cafe to Ebley, I was stunned by how many trout were just below the surface. It was mesmerising to watch these ghostly shapes gracefully sway underwater.

New art exhibition at Michelin Star Restaurant, Wilks, featuring previously unseen work. My current style of painting translates panoramic scenes into square images, thus creating a new visual language and enabling the viewer to experience new perspectives of well known locations. 'Pero’s Bridge, Bristol' Oil on canvas (60 x 60cm) I have developed an art technique that I refer to as ‘Ghost Impressionism’, where the location becomes more recognisable than the people within. P

​​​​​​​My new art exhibition depicting music, television and cinema icons from a bygone era to the present day opened on 1st April at The Malthouse Collective in Stroud. Framed, limited edition prints are also available. Each have quotes from either the actor or character they play in film/TV. 'Ever since I was a small child, I've had this feeling - it's in my nature, and so it's not even pretentious - that if everyone's going one way, I will go the other, just by some kind o

The paintings featured are David Bowie, Goldfrapp, Sigourney Weaver, Bjork, Keith Richards & David Attenborough (both now sold). All por

My girlfriend Rita and I decided to visit the 'Picasso on Paper' art exhibition at Compton Verney last Sunday. This is a fascinating look into Pablo Picasso's appetite for creativity. To some degree, you could say he was the ultimate representation of an artist; he literally did whatever he felt like, in his art studio, public and private life (though he doesn't quite fit the shy introvert stereotype!). Arguably the most famous artist of the 20th Century, Picasso created so m

I'm currently exhibiting artwork at the Cheltenham French restaurant L'Artisan, displaying new paintings; 'Neptune's Fountain' and 'Rue Norvins, Montmartre'. My very first impressionist painting was a version of the famous statue in Cheltenham's Promenade (which is apparently based on the Trevi fountain in Rome). Many years later, I've given this version of 'Neptune's Fountain' (above) a much more contemporary feel, whilst retaining the vibrancy of the original. L'Artisan is

My latest art exhibition is currently taking place at The Patchwork Mouse Art Cafe in Painswick, featuring several new artworks which have never been displayed. The exhibition coincides with the biennial Art Couture Festival. 'Julianne' 'Julianne' (91 x 91cm on deep edge canvas) is a portrait of the American actress and Oscar winner, Julianne Moore. Her ethereal beauty and purity are captured in this painting which I completed literally days ago! 'David' Also premiering is 'D

This is my Parisian post-impressionist painting 'L'accordeoniste' (20 x 51cm) oil on canvas, currently exhibited at French restaurant 'L'Artisan' for £195. The street scene, in the heart of Montmartre is painted with sponges and palette knives and depicts just a moment of the great performance this local accordionist was giving to a captive audience... He is one of a range of characters that could have been in the movie 'Amelie' (which was filmed around this area in Montmartr

'Stream of Consciousness' On Saturday 30th April, I'll be guiding my first Cotswold Natural Mindfulness walk and where better to start than Painswick! 'Stream of Consciousness' encompasses one of my favourite walks along a hidden pathway toward the stream and waterfall at Kingsmill, starting from the Patchwork Mouse Art cafe at 10am and concluding at around 12pm. I painted 'Yew & Me in Painswick' (below) around the time of the Art Couture Festival. I was inspired by the beaut
