Looking the Other Way
I needed to paint this picture. I have painted a lot of landscapes lately and I was missing the challenge of the human form.
Hay Fever
A painting of a stall at Stroud market covered in colourful bottles. The sunshine has illumated the bottles and the sneezing stallholder.
It’s a dog’s life
