Details
My sketchbooks accompany me on many visits to churchyards and other places where wildlife often flourishes.
I continue to work in my studio in sketchbooks and on new paintings, developing visual memories relating to the shifting moods and atmosphere experienced whilst visiting those sacred places.
Paint. Print. Published books
I have four published books containing my artwork and all except Kilpeck and the Romanesque in Herefordshire are still in print and available form bookshops, galleries and from my website. May Hill, and Edward Thomas were produced in response to living here surrounded by glorious countryside on the Herefordshire / Gloucestershire border. Walking Through the Seasons is the most recent book and contains walks, poetry and my artwork.
