On the Shelf

Most of my still life paintings of shelves are set at eye level so that the displayed wares can be easily seen.

Veranda

A sunny veranda looking out over a tropical garden has inspired many of my paintings. We would all like to have the time to relax in such a comfortable spot.

Enamelware

A collection of brightly-coloured enamel pieces lifts the mood of any room. I enjoy painting these arrangements as it lifts my mood also.

Many items of enamel kitchenware and other wares rest on a blue patterned cloth. Bright light casts strong shadows throughout the painting.

Lemons in Still Life

I use lemons in still life paintings to contrast with the many blue objects that I paint. Blue is my favourite colour and lemons make an obvious counterpoint.

Horses

I enjoy sketching and painting horses. They are patient animals and will stand still for easy sketching.

Horses and foals rest in the shade of a big tree. Dappled sunlight falls on several of the horses.
