Otis

                     Pastel 11 x 10 inches

Here's a recently finished Pastel portrait of 'Otis', my step-daughter's Border Terrier, done for her birthday. Otis is a flighty, full of energy terrier, never staying still for more than a nanosecond, so I wanted to capture that sense of urgency in him.

Morning Sparkle

The Derwent in Borrowdale

                         Oil 7.5 x 10 inches.

One of the most beautiful parts of England, especially at this time of year - blues, reds, greens, oranges and yellows.

Great Langdale Cottages

                            Oil 10 x 14 inches

New studio painting. Just liked the way the cottages were perched on the steep hillside, and the right-hand chimney was set against the lovely white side of the second cottage. Rather a complex frontage to sort out, and not at all simple to paint loosely, so I didn't! I wanted to capture all those bits and bobs to set a jumble of shapes in contrast to the stark mountains behind.
