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.'

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.

Painting in focus; Barkers Mill

 Barkers Mill Barnard Castle This weeks painting in focus has been sold but I have 4 prints in stock:1 standard, 1 medium, and 1 large; one framed print, and one card. This painting has been one of my most popular paintings. It represents a huddle of houses on the Barnard Castle side of the Tees. The end building was originally an old corn mill run by water wheel. You can still see the course where the water wheel was situated. It dates back to 1540 and is situated in Grey Lane. The view across the Tees from the Startforth side of the river is very picturesque making this an attractive and historic view. The original painting has been sold but I have 4 prints one framed print and one card available at focus of the week prices. Prices for mounted and signed prints are standard £15.00; Medium £25.00; Large £45.00 and the framed print is £150.00. These prices will only stand until 27 th March.  The card remains at £4.00.

 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
