A collage of three paintings. A street scene with a light grey road in the foreground and a low rise restaurant across the road, partly obscured by a vibrant green hedge. Light blue canopies can be seen outside of the restaurant. Two tall palm trees tower above. The sky is a gradient from white rising to blue. The pool and grounds of the Austin Motel. Sun loungers line the pool. Green hedges behind and a retro looking red motel sign above. A pool in the foreground. Two retro looking sun loungers on a grass surface, close to the pool edge, red and white in colour. A stone wall behind with some green plants climbing the wall to the right hand side.

A selection of my recent paintings depicting the lazy days of summer.

A collage of three acrylic paintings. A single level commercial street. A look of small town USA. Buildings are muted reds and browns, a rusted corrugated canopy runs along the entirety of the street. White clouds above and a grey road in the foreground. A sunset scene in a small town. Low rise commercial looking buildings either side of a road, drenched in a warm red glow. Telephone poles add a composition. Hills can be seen in the background. A two floor building with a retro hotel sign reading ‘Hotel Vegas’. Road in the foreground and a blue sky above.

A selection of my recent acrylic paintings. Connected by a calming stillness.

A cloudless blue sky is a great backdrop for minimal photography.

Acrylic painting of a launderette shopfront.

My Beautiful Launderette.

I loved the look of this vintage launderette in Saltaire, West Yorkshire. I thought the clutter of machinery, posters, and reflections in the large windows, would make for an interesting painting.
