I'm aiming to put most of my work on here, and in due course on the website at www.isleofwightlandscapes.net - so much to do at the moment that it'll take me a while; and how I could do with some help from a web expert.... anyone there?
In the meantime: these two are both small oils on canvas, 7" by 5" in their stockinged feet; not brilliantly photographed, but the best I've been able to do. Colours are either a bit fuzzy or a touch brash: I may well re-post in due course, when I've got a better camera or better camera skills.
One is entitled Castlehaven Lane; the other Path Through the Trees; and I live in hope you'll be able to tell which is which.... Around £40.00 each, for any keen purchaser. Just email me, and I'll tell you, with obscene haste, how you can pay. They're on box canvases - don't strictly speaking need frames, but I would frame them if it were up to me: a frame helps to focus the eye.
E-book on oil painting for absolute beginners on its way - most of the writing is finished, just need to finish the illustrations and write the last two sections, plus Index. I think it'll be priced in the region of £10, in pdf form. By all means express an interest now - it IS for absolute beginners, but I think more experienced painters might find it of some interest too: does you good to go back to basics now and then.

Small oils
Very quick blog entry; I've been painting small oils on canvas, 7" by 5" - and I had a lot of trouble photographing them. I'm told the issue is camera shake. However - a fellow contributor to the Painters Online website, Mick Saunders, has tidied up one of my rather poor photographs, and I'll display it here - even now it doesn't have quite the density of colour that the original painting has, but it's the best photographic version available so far....

This one is called Fresh Day in July. Because - it was!
