The Christmas exhibition at Earlam's gallery is now open and looks extremely festive!

If you are looking for special, unique gifts for friends and family this Christmas i would highly recommend popping down for a browse!

My Northern Lights framed print looks fab on display, and i also have my range of greeting cards and small mounted prints for sale there too.

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!

My Christmas Shop is now open!  

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!

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:

My workshops for this year are now fully booked but i have just added a couple of new dates for the beginning of 2015!

So if you want to start the new year learning something new or re-kindling a passion for painting then please join me for an arty afternoon down at the cloud 9 gallery!

This is also a great opportunity to buy a friend or family member a place on my workshop as a surprise Christmas gift!

See my workshop page for further details! /workshops.html

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!
