Paintings
My paintings are based on sketches and photos, often taken on holiday, as well as found images encountered in my work as a designer. I tackle a wide range of subjects which interest and inspire me. I also produce paintings with an abstract flavour which are nevertheless carefully worked and still reflect an attention to detail.
My most recent painting which records the beauty of summer flowers blooming in July along Wildmoorstone Brook, near Buxton.
