Summer Dance over the Meadow
Description:
Summer Dance is a semi-abstract, art-nouveau style oil painting of a summer meadow with swallows dancing over it and forming patterns in the landscape. It is 24x18x1.5 inches. The painting was made after much walking around in meadows in Sussex during June and July watching swallows swooping and diving for the insects that gather over the wild flowers and trees. Swallows move so fast they are hard to keep track of and they tend leave patterns on the eyes (mine anyway) which adds to the feeling of energy that I tried to capture in this painting. Painted on 3D canvas, blue edges, ready to hang and comes with certificate of authenticity.

An Awakening
Description:
An Awakening is an original oil painting of a female deer in a landscape of lakes, mountains and forests. It is 36x30x1.5 inches. The painting is in semi-abstract, art nouveau and totally unique in style. A female fallow deer stands to the left having emerged from the trees with the hint of a lake and mountains beyond her. Vertical layering of transparent golden paint glazes makes the scene shimmer and reflect different colours when viewed at different angles which gives it a jewel like quality. The deer looks as if she is wondering about her life. A nice idea, although she is probably just wondering what to eat next, but I liked the idea that she could dream as humans do (and how do we know she canât?...)

Echoes of Summer
Description:
Echoes of Summer is an expressive art nouveau style oil painting showing the echoes of swallows in the corner of a meadow. It is 35.5x47x0.5 inches (120x90x1.5cm) semi abstract, decorative and vibrantly coloured. The painting shows elegantly placed trees and flowers with the outlines of swallows diving over them. It is called echoes of summer as this is what swallows are in the UK as they only spend their summerâs here before returning to Africa or Europe. I am always sad to see them go as it means the fragrant heady summer days of birdsong and insect buzzing are over far too soon! It is painted on thin canvas so does need a frame but is ready to hang and comes with certificate of authenticity

Summer Harbingers
Description:
Summer Harbingers is an explosive, expressive, joyful, energetic painting of poppies and swallows in the corner of a summer meadow. It is 40x40x1.5 inches. The painting shows a bed of red poppies in the foreground in the shade of the tree behind them. The tree is spreading its branches in all directions and gives the painting a dynamism that sums up the feeling of the drama that plays out in summer meadow. Two swallows are adding their own slant to energy that is taking place. The painting style is semi-abstract art-nouveau. The inspiration for it was simply the happiness that I feel in countryside and corners of gardens in England when the sun is out and nature is showing off. It is impossible to capture all the life forms and their activities in the corner of a meadow as there is just too much of it so I have tried, instead, to capture the way it makes me feel. Painted on 3D canvas, white edges, ready to hang and comes with certificate of authenticity.

The Mother Tree
Description:
The Mother Tree is a very large, impasto, semi-abstract oil painting of a tree in a bluebell wood with deer. It is 60x36x1.5 inches. A Mother tree is a matriarch tree in any woodland that is connected to all the others. I came across this one in April 2025 and she was massive and very old and was clearly the queen of that particular patch of woodland. She was on a mound with a stream running past in a hollow glade with other trees all around. The bluebells were coming out and the whole space was a universe quite separate in atmosphere to the path that led in and out of it. I stayed a while in this magical space and it impressed me enough to paint this tree and to try and capture the size and majesty of it. Beneath the tree is a small white deer buck and on the left of the painting, silhouetted against the light, are three female deer. The colours are very pale, muted and neutral with grey, lilac, green and blue shades that reflect differently throughout the day as the light hits from different angles giving the painting a slightly ethereal feeling. Painted on deep edge canvas, white edges, no frame needed and ready to hang

A Quiet Drama
Description:
A Quiet Drama is a serene panoramic oil painting of a white egret by a river among trees and blossom and wildflowers. It is 60x30x1.5 inches. The painting style is unique but could be described as semi-abstract style painterly art nouveau. The egret is stretching her wings over the river behind wild garlic and blossom trees and the hint of other riverside flowers. There are trees and fields beyond her but the egret is enclosed in the shade of a quiet river bank just doing what she does. This painting was inspired by my regular walks along parts of the river Medway and celebrates the occasional sighting of a white egret. It is always a pleasure to find these birds as they are so ethereal, white and elegant. I have used the colours of an English springtime (white, pinks, greens, blues and turquoise) to give this painting an ephemeral feeling as May does not last long enough in my opinion! The painting is dedicated to those people helping to get our rivers cleaned up so that wildlife can thrive in them. Painted on deep edge canvas, white edges, no frame needed and ready to hang.

Beltane
Description:
Beltane is a large panoramic oil painting of a woodland glade in springtime with a stream running through it with the hint of bluebells, wildflowers and blossom trees. It is 60x36x1.5 inches. The style of the painting is contemporary with art nouveau elements to it. The viewer is transported into the landscape between two shady banks on either side of a stream with the bluebells and blossom and a clearing beyond. A meadow can be glimpsed through the trees and it shimmers with the possibility of something about to be revealed. I called it Beltane (an ancient celebration of the start of summer made on May 1st) as I was in the area that inspired this painting for me on that day in 2025 (Mayfield in Sussex). I love the birdsong and the abundance of nature in May and could well believe myself transported to some otherworldly place when I was looking at this. It is dedicated to all those with a romantic soul who love landscapes and nature and feel they sound be protected. Painted on deep edge canvas, ready to hang and comes with certificate of authenticity.

A Perfect Chaos
Description:
A Perfect Chaos is a vibrantly coloured semi-abstract landscape painting of roe deer in a yellow field with the sea beyond them. It is 36x36x1.5 inches. The style is slightly art nouveau and accentuates the curves and rolling shapes of land, sea and sky in springtime in a playful way. The view shows a hind and a buck roe deer making an appearance in a field of yellow flowers. Beyond them is a view towards a path and the sea that it leads to. At the edge of the meadow is the suggestions of pink flowers and blossom. There is a definite energy and motion towards the centre of the painting caused by use of various brush stokes and shapes that make sense but are also a little mysterious. This painting was inspired by a trip to Dorset in spring just as the rape seed flowers were blooming. I was stuck by the sheer beauty of the contrast between the blue sky and the yellow meadow. Painted on deep edge canvas, ready to hang and comes with certificate of authenticity.

New Beginnings
Description:
New Beginnings is an original oil painting in an ethereal semi-abstract style of a roebuck deer in a woodland glade. It is 36x36x1.5inches. The painting is vibrant and multi-coloured and hints at trees and leaves and dappled light in a spring forest. The roebuck is only half formed and it watching the viewer haughtily as roe deer tend to. Three shapes towards the centre of the canvas form tenuous portals or openings that could lead elsewhere. This painting was inspired by that exact idea. Often, especially in the ancient woodland copses of Sussex, I feel I could turn a corner and be in a whole new world. I like the idea â especially when I find a deer watching me (which is quite often in southern England). Anyone who walks in woodland will know the thrill of looking out from the trees to a clearing or a path beyond and that is the wonder of woodland and possibly one of the reasons so many fairy stories and folklore are founded in forests. Painted on deep edge canvas, ready to hang, no frame needed and comes with certificate of authenticity.

Spring Calling
Description:
Spring Calling is a vibrant semi abstract landscape painting of the glorious view across a bluebell field towards a green valley and the Ashdown Forest beyond. It is 36x24x1.5 inches. This landscape shows blossom trees at the top of a high bank on the left with cast shadows across most of the painting filled with bluebells. The valley below shows luminous green trees and beyond them is the Ashdown Forest. This painting was formulated in my mind last April after a late afternoon walk l I took near where I live. The sun was still bright but the shadows were long and the scent of bluebells and blossom was almost too much. I love the contrast between the sweep of shadows where the bluebells are growing to light in the clearing below plus the way some of the pink blossom was lit from the low rays of the sun. It was one of those bucolic places you come across sometimes in Sussex which is not dramatic but still takes your breath away. The painting is on wide edge canvas painted a muted purple colour which integrates into the edges of the painting and helps propel the viewer into the scenery. Painted on deep edge canvas, ready to hang, no frame needed and comes with certificate of authenticity
