The Rapture

Daisy Mutt and the Red Ants

I've recently received some paintings back which have been with a gallery following a couple of shows - hence, I'm uploading them here one by one.

Today's is 'Daisy Mutt and the Red Ants', which I painted following a conversation I had with a friend's daughter about how we both loved to climb trees. She'd been telling me about how she'd spent the summer sitting up in the tree tops fending off red ants.

The Newlyweds

This is a painting of a couple of friends of mine, just after they had got married in 2005. It's painted (like all my others) in Gloss on MDF board, float mounted in a white gesso frame, 11" x 11". Available on etsy soon.

The Gandalf Tree

One can never paint enough trees! This particular one sits at the top of a hill on the grounds of Eastnor Castle (home to The Big Chill). It's a particularly fine specimen, under which I have caught my breath, had a little sit down, and contemplated the night ahead of me.
