Frangipani 5x5in

sold

Just put the last finishing touches to these beautiful Frangipani flowers. These flowers are found all over Koh Mak - an island off the south west coast of Thailand that I have been traveling to for the last number of years.
Using just one broad round brush I painted - to capture the shape and essence of this magnificent flower.
Hope you like it.

Restful Pear 5x5in



Rested Pear - oil/panel - 5"x5" - sold

The beautiful reddish hue and the way the light fell across the shape of this pear just cried out to me to be painted - immortalised! I took a really 'passive' approach to the application of paint, the colouring and composition.

Spring Onion and Pepper 7x5in



These last few pieces have been really rewarding to create. My application of paint is more fluid and am really concentrating on establishing a strong tonal range and composition.

Still have a number of miniture pieces created on my recent travels aboard that I am just putting the final touches to. Hope to get them posted within the next week.
