A hazy sun rises above misty rolling hills. The clouds are pale peach and the ground is a mixture of purples, greens and browns.

A semi-abstract watercolour: bright sun shines between streets of blue, yellow and pink clouds that arc across the sky. Crepuscular rays of pink and yellow radiate downwards.

Love the still-life of the vase; just enough movement in the shadows to prevent the symmetry becoming static 😍

An abstract painting of several vertical blue columns in a row, with orange encroaching from the bottom right; pencil plan/construction lines are obvious. Alternatively: a blue city being engulfed by flames from the far right.

I had a lot of fun painting this Sulphur-rumped Tanager.
These guys can be found on the Caribbean slopes of both Costa Rica and Panama.

Looking out to sea from a misty pebble beach. The wan sunlight paints the sea a silvery green as breakers crash onto the pebbles.

View from a car heading down a Devon road towards a lowering sun that is casting yellow, orange and pink onto shower clouds ahead. The road is flanked by high hedges and a couple of autumn trees.

Looking into a rural English valley with fields, trees, bushes and rolling hills.  Rain showers crowd into the sky. Colours are muted greens and earthy yellows, with a warm grey sky.

A pastel drawing in muted tones of blue, grey, black and white: the ghosts of fallen heroes of the Greatest Generation arise from the moonlit sands of the invasion beach where they fell. A young hero that is yet to rise lies prone in the foreground, still partly buried in the sand.
