An Interpretation of the Bailey

​

 'This picture captures beautifully what is so special about St John's College and Cranmer Hall - a collection of buildings in a unique position which have been home to a learning community for over 100 years.  And at the heart of the picture is the College Chapel where we continue to worship and pray for the life of our College within Durham University.  The artist is to be congratulated for a wonderful picture which repays closer examination.'

Painting in focus 'Summerhill Force'

 Summerhill Force remains one of my favourite paintings that I have ever painted.  Summerhill Force.

This one is an absolute favourite of mine so I thought I would start here. I love the water and the light in this painting. It holds a romantic atmosphere, where I would not be surprised to meet any member of the faye folk hiding behind a tree. The place itself is a short walk upstream  from Bowlees Visitor centre. The stream is so beautiful it bubbles and dances all the way down the fell.  As I said, I do still own this original and I am happy to do that, if only to remind myself that I can actually paint but also, it encapsulates why I paint.   I paint to celebrate beauty and am reminded of Philippians 4:8 ' . . .continue to think about what is good and worthy of praise. ...

Tulip Vase Glass

 Tulip Glass Vase  These photos show the recent glass vase I pained as a commission. It is different to most flower work I have done. Usually I cover the base of the glass with grass and flowers, but this time for tulips which are top heavy but elegant flowers I kept the design simple. I hope you like it. Don't forget I am available for commissions of glass or oil paintings, Please get in touch if you are interested in any cards prints or original oils.

 Glass from the past  This week I have worked on a piece of hand painted glass. It is not available to show as yet because it was commissioned as a gift, so until it has been received, I cannot show it. However, this work made me remember all the other glass I have worked on over the last 4 years. It seems much longer than 4 years since I started painting glass but here are some of the pieces I have created. I use Folkart enamel for glass. Once it has air dried for 21 days it is safe to was. I have no glass to sell as it is usually commissioned or sells almost straight away.   If you would like a piece of glass uniquely hand painted to keep or give as a friend please get in touch
