The last time I was in Oxford at the Ashmolean I made this drawing downstairs in the cafe and then worked it up into a painting. I'm very pleased to say that it has been preselected for the Royal Society of British Artists' show at the Mall Galleries in March.

Back at the National Gallery
Another couple of pictures based on observations at the National Gallery. How much is the desire to look at pictures based on what people are told about them rather than their own interest and enjoyment?

Paintings from a trip to Italy
Italy is a wonderful place to paint and draw; every hill has a farm or a town, a church or a castle on it surrounded by cypresses, umbrella pines and olive trees.

A day at the Drawing Circus!
The Drawing Circus is based in Brighton and puts on extraordinary events which are a cross between lifedrawing and theatre. Accompanied by live music "The Drawchestra"!! groups of models mostly dressed in elaborate circus costumes form tableaus for varying amounts of time. It's an amazing atmospheric experience and here are some of the results...

Recent paintings
Found an old curtain with lots of pattern on and used it as the background for this picture. I like the summery feel |

View from Meon Hill. I love the panorama in all directions from the top of this hill near Mickleton |
Just trying something different for a still life |
