An Abstract Summer Holiday (Part Two)
- Here are my next 2 small boards with a similar colour and subject theme. I can normally get one completed in a single sitting which has been refreshing compared to the multiple weeks and concept designing of my normal work process. The yachts are made of three simple parts and give them a sense of movement on the water as…

An Abstract Summer Holiday (Part Three)
- Here are my last two small boards with a similar colour palette and subject theme just in time for the end of summer. I've used the same sea blues and the colours of an intense sunset. As a little change, the sea connects whether you look at them in one order or vice versa for those that either want the…

An Abstract Summer Holiday (Part One)
- Over my summer break I changed from large canvases to small 20x20cm cradled wooden boards instead. I bought a pack of 6 and created a set of sea and coastal oil paintings in my current theme. Smaller is quicker and the subject matter simpler with my knife however still challenging to use the same style. Another learning experience. The first…

Le Mont
- This is my multi-perspective view of Le Mont Saint-Michel in France. You can only get so much detail from photos but going there and experiencing the many buildings, paths, trees and stairs gave me a richer understanding of the environment. I used the same knife technique with an ultraviolet/infrared style where the trees appear pink, the buildings grey and a…

Cubist Fields
- Another concept painting before completing "Le Mont". I wanted to be sure the sky and clouds worked using the straight and curved lines. Sun rays burst from the top and the patchwork sky builds up in the background while the green abstract trees and fields compliments the other colours. Cubist Fields - Oils on board 10x14 inch.

Night Architect
- Another concept test before moving onto my "Le Mont" target. This was about using black, testing building structures and understanding how dark I could make a painting until taking a photograph becomes impossible because of even just a little light reflection. You will agree that I reached that point. Night Architect - Oils on board 10x14 inch. Available

Ultraviolet Night
- I'm applying my cubist glasses to this landscape by using my knife but choosing a limited set of colours; Prussian blue, violet and red (with white and black to adjust the luminescence). I was inspired by photographs with infrared and ultraviolet filters that transform everyday colours into other worldly and ghostly scenes. The rest I'll leave up to your own…

Summer Scent
- A flower in cubist form. A colourful start to the warmer seasons and no blue! This is my first time looking at a rose in this style and I'm taking inspiration from images of flowers using depth of field to represent distant backgrounds. Now add in the colour of summer smells into the palette. Summer Scent - Oils on canvas…

Yachts sur la Côte D’Azur
- Two big influences for this piece on top of my usual palette knife style. Firstly, the majestic Côte D'Azur with it's beautiful coastal waters and wonderful colours. Secondly, the cubist movement of the early 20th century with a little art deco thrown in. Love them all. The lines from the sky reach down to the sea and there are connections…

Cloud/Isolation
- This started off as a proof of concept showing cloud services, connectivity and communication but during the last stage this turned into Isolation and the 2020 pandemic. Looking outside but in some cases the outside coming in. The rest you can make up for yourself. Cloud/Isolation - Oils on canvas 12x16 inch. Available

Summer’s End At Lyle Hill
- Between Greenock and Gourock is Lyle Hill. Its known for the Free French monument and the commanding views of the surrounding area. Any time of year the view is amazing and this one was captured as summer was waning. The sunset reflection in the Clyde, silhouetted hills and the just visible town of Gourock added a special element to the…
