Paintings on Glass

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.

Painting in focus 'Summerhill Force'

Summerhill Force remains one of my favourite paintings that I have ever painted. Summerhill Force. Oil on Linen canvas , size length 82cm x hight 61cm painted in 2021 Once I had decided to a painting in focus each week, I thought I would work through paintings I still own as originals. 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. ...

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
