May 2026 Hello Art Fans, I am just scraping in to the last few hours of May with this newsletter. I've had a busy month, but not painting, weirdly! I have been updating my website, the Milky Way Gallery, and it has taken a ton of time. The other thing I did was added twelve prints from my back catal...

This is a print of my oil-on-canvas painting, "The Audition," which I painted back in 1995. It features my young niece and her two close friends at the start of ballet class, holding onto the studio barre, filled with the nervous anticipation of young dancers, absorbed in their thoughts and sufferin...

Sunday mornings are made for this. This watercolour captures the early energy of a yacht club gathering just before the race begins. I wanted to lean into a semi-abstract style here, focusing less on the hard lines of the boats and more on the fluid, dancing reflections in the water. One of my earli...

This was painted in August 1996, a watercolour from a photo I took of a solitary red sail out on a lake. You can imagine them gliding through the still water, with dusk gathering, just the merest ripple of the bow wave and a gentle evening wind rattling the spinnaker halyard against the mast.

This was painted in November 1996, from a photograph I took after visiting the beautiful San Marco piazza in Venezia.

My studio is in Cliffe, just 3 miles from Selby, if you are interested in this or any of my other work.

This is a mounted A3-sized print of an oil on canvas painting which began as a life drawing from a class that I used to attend in Henley. I still have the original life drawing somewhere, rendered in charcoal on paper. The model was stationary but had adopted a walking pose. Some time later I decide...

This is a print of an oil painting of sweet peas in a pottery jug that I gave to a good friend way back in the nineties. I think these flowers are one of the prettiest sights of spring, and they smell gorgeous as well.
