Autumnal Briar Leaves 6
Mother’s Rheumatic Right Hand
Potted Cylcamen (Red October)
Ballinwilling Strand (Red October)
Cock Pheasant Amongst Corn Stubbles

The pheasant has just spotted the viewer; he has raised his head and in a few seconds will bolt it down the field.
A Constellation of Dahlias

Decided to use a dark background, because the star shapes of the dahlia flowers are reminiscent of stars and so the overall piece is like a constellation in the night sky.
Dead Blackbird – Sold

Wanted a big change of subject here. It’s important to do stuff that appeals to you alone now and again, and not constantly pandering to what the market would like.
Twilit August Evening Over The Strand Field – Sold

The field outside where I live. Barley is growing.
Autumnal Briar Leaves 3 – Sold

This is the third painting I’ve done on this subject. The background is actually dark green rather than black. These briar leaves were the first ones I found when I was walking in Rostellan Wood, which is the same place that I sourced the briar leaves used in the first two paintings.
