Daily Painting: The Fall


The Fall
Oil on boad, 15 x 20 cm, £67.50

I often dream I’m falling. Everybody does. A fall can be a transformation, or an all-too-swift escape. The unknown is both behind and in front of you.

Daily Painting: Britannia Rule the Waves


Britannia Rule the Waves
Oil on boad, 15 x 21 cm, £67.50

The flag carries listlessly through the fog. It’s a stoic, fragile, pathetic image, eerie, silent, speaking both of the past and the future.

Daily Painting: Seascape (Silence)


Seascape (Silence)
Oil on boad, 15 x 21 cm, £67.50

The sea gives an infinite multitude of colours. On a calm, foggy day, it’s at its most simple and mysterious.

Daily Painting: Ghost Ship


Ghost Ship
Oil on boad, 15 x 20 cm, £67.50
A still life with skull and beer bottle in a landscape of sand and sea. The seashore in harsh sunlight brings to me a feeling of infinity, ineffable mystery and the ends of existence, prehistory and the distant future.
The bottle is Adnams’ Ghost Ship. It’s very good: try it.

Daily Painting: Indian Summer


Indian Summer
Oil on boad, 15 x 20 cm, £67.50

The summer came late this year. Nobody knew where it had been and neither did they care. The temperature reached 30C, the sea was crystal blue and the beaches became a luxuriant human landscape of indolent flesh.
