“The Pool, Hidcote.”
Size 32 x 70 cm image
Framed & mounted Price £1600.00
This new watercolour is painted on Arches 300gm Not watercolour paper. It shows an area of Lancashire; Cliviger, which is North of Burnley and some of the best country around. My opinion. I have really got into Winter scenes lately and more will follow. Painted December 2009.
“Heart of the Village...” Castle Combe.
The glorious 14th c village of Castle Combe in Wiltshire straddles the Bybrook. The honey coloured Cotswold stone and the total lack of 21st century enhancement make it one of England's best villages.
Original Watercolour on Fabriano 300gm Not. Size 50 x 33 cm image.

“Summer colours, Hidcote...”
The Cotswold Garden of Hidcote, described as the most beautiful garden of the 20th century,
surrounds its medieval manor and glorifies it with arched views from several directions.
Designed by the American, Lawrence Johnston,
each compartmented garden contains plants from all over the world. Despite this the feeling when you are there is this could only be in England.
Small watercolour size 17 x 39 cm on Fabriano 140 lb paper, framed and mounted in silver and gold frame with Ivory mount.
‘West Door, Fountains Abbey’
The ruins of the 12th Cent
Benedictine Abbey of Fountains in Yorkshire are set in a glorious valley, landscaped to provide splendid views of this medieval pile.
The architecture provides its own compositions and many superb views can be seen as you wander through the ruins that now stand courtesy of Henry VIII.
Only imagine if this was as complete as York Minster.

“The Road to Middleham...” Thoralby, Yorkshire
This new watercolour was painted after a Yorkshire outing and looks back down into Bishopdale and the tiny hamlet of Thoralby.
The idea of a wide panorama with no sky works because the atmosphere is woven into the colours
reflected onto the distant moors. The strong shadows and the beautiful colour tells us that summer is well and truly here.
Size 23 x 75 cms image on Arches 140 Not Paper.
“ View from a Train...” Views of Lancashire
This watercolour has a title that suggests a journey from one place to another with a captured view as we travel. It could be that the image is a static view conjuring up the mere idea of travelling on a train. The choice can be yours and I simply give you a painted subject. Either way the image is strong and visually stunning. Chosen for this years Sunday Times watercolour competition.
Image size 68 x 38 cms approx Framed in Black and Silver distressed Frame with Matching Slip Fleck White mount with Soft White inner.
“The Rains are Coming.”
Painted during the rainy season, or summer as we call it in Lancashire. Across the Pennine barrier that separates the Red from the White but is occasionally breached to sample primitive cultures. (Only Kidding) Skipton boasts a fine castle and this market which is my chosen subject.
Watercolour size 45 x 48 cms image
