I am collaborating with a fab photographer Alex Taylor, he takes the photos and i interperate them onto canvas. It's a very challenging process to be part of.  It is interesting to see how two artistically minded people can approach the same image in different ways.


There is now a new section on my website dedicated to One Shot Two Takes and we also have our brand new Facebook Page!

Please do stop by and have a browse, like and share too if you like what you see!

I have a lovely range of Christmas cards available to buy either separately or as a pack of 4.

There are 4 different designs all on a wintery theme and just perfect for sending out for Christmas!

If you're stuck for what to buy that special someone, why not purchase a mounted print of Northern Lights or take a browse through my print shop for alternative images.  It really is the perfect unique gift which they won't be expecting!

Saturday 22nd November 2014 saw the first of Cloud 9's Christmas Markets in Hebden Bridge.  

It was a perfect opportunity for me to launch my new Christmas range of cards and of course my new "Poinsettia" painting also made its debut appearance!

I even got crafty and made my own little delicate snowflakes as confetti on the table!

"Northern Lights" stole the show on this occasion and attracted many admirers!

Next stop, the makers market in Blackburn!   See you there!

The finished painting!

Adding the finishing touches, you can really see how impasto the paint is here.

Here is my latest finished painting "Autumn Falls".  Oil on canvas 16" x 20".  

Autumn is my favourite season as there are lot's of different textures and vivid colours to inspire me.  It's such an exciting time of year as every day reveals new jewels of colours.
 
These waterfalls are located at Hardcastle Crags at Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire.

This is my version of a photograph taken by Alex Taylor which he has kindly given me permission to use as reference.  You can see Alex's original photograph here of which my painting is based:

Here is my latest acrylic painting "Poinsettia".  It was nice to work from still life rather than a photograph for a change!  I must try to do more of this!

I ran the first of my introduction to landscape painting workshops yesterday.  It was great fun, everyone did so well and produced fab paintings!  It was very interesting to see the individual takes and styles achieved on the same image.  Well done everyone!  Thank you to Alex Taylor Photography for giving us permission to paint his beautiful landscape photograph. 

If you would like to join in with my next workshop and produce your own beautiful canvas, details can be found on my workshop page.
