‘Oliver’
‘Oliver’
Pastel on paper 15″ x 12″
This is a commissioned pastel portrait of Oliver, who at the time was four years of age. I find pastel portraits of children particularly demanding for there are no characteristic features to latch onto and children are smooth and wrinkle free.

‘John Forsythe Esq’
Oil on canvas 20 x 16 ins
This is an informal painting of John, a successful business man.
John’s wife Margaret came into the gallery and asked me if I would paint his portrait.
John, who is at the helm of a successful transport business and normally wears a suit for work, decided that I paint him dressed informally,relaxing in his home, whilst watching television.
I worked from an initial sitting, made notes and took photographs for reference, as John chatted away about his climb from rags to riches.

An Oil Painting Of A Woodsman Taking A Break
‘The Woodsman’
Oil on canvas 12 x 16 ins
Scenes like this are seldom seen and I was extremely fortunate to find such a chance and put it to canvas. I came upon this scene while’st out walking at a place called Rodney’s Pillar. Rodney’s Pillar is set on a hilltop in Montgomeryshire about a mile from the boundary with Shropshire. The hilltop rises to 900 ft and at the top give spectacular 360 degree views across Shropshire, Cheshire and Wales. You can follow a path, open to the public, which takes you through woods on both sides and leads up to the hilltop.
There is also pheasant shooting during the season and from October to January access is closed to the public on a shoot day. The woodsman in the painting was having a lunch break prior to which he had been working his blue roan, Dutch Draft mare, which was flattening bracken in the woods.
