Title or Location: Equestria
The painting was a gift for my SIL who has always owned, ridden and tended horses. Following a nasty accident and the death of her last beloved horse, she decided to retire from her lifelong hobby. I had the frame already and as I took out the backing, decided to paint straight onto the hardboard as it was such a great colour!

Title or Location: Charlie
As a life long fan of the Stones I was saddened when Charlie Watts passed. The Chemistry of the band has always fascinated me with 2 prima Donna's fronting the band Charlie provided the perfect chemistry in that he was so laid back. This painting was my tribute to him. It's in oils 55 x 65 cm.

Title or Location: Thoughtful friend
This is a painting from a photograph of a good friend who was a great support in a very difficult period of my life. Although we now live in different continents she has supported my art journey for the last 15months and I wanted to bless her by painting her. She was thrilled with the painting and was happy to see a resemblance although I somehow managed to make her look around 12! This is my 7th attempt at a portrait, in acrylic on watercolour paper, A4 size. It took me 5 hours to paint & I

Title or Location: Hafryn in February
In 2021 I started to draw and paint a little. In February we went for a walk in a beautiful part of Wales called Hafryn near Llanbrinmair. Despite being winter I was inspired by some photographs taken at the time and tried my hand at an ink drawing. It is quite small, roughly 16 cm x 26 cm.

Title or Location: "Montana Ranch".
The watercolour is of a group of Hereford cattle grazing the grasses of the high plains in Montana with the foothills of the Rockies visible in the distance. I tried to keep my style loose by using a large brush and holding it higher up. I also worked without my glasses on. W&N tube paints were used on 140lb cold pressed paper.
