Gower Stones

A row of random stones in early evening, a bit of exposed soil, and a building lurking in the background.

Beach corner

Ok this is awfully similar to "Aberystwyth" painting below, but I like this sort of thing.

Slipway

This started off as a spatial thing, then became a textural thing, then with cropping has become a spatial and textural thing. The textures dont read very well at small scale.

Grey wall.

This painting is far too wholesome to be enjoyed, its the equivalent of organic brown rice, mixed with sawdust for extra roughage.
Oil on card 10 by 6 inches.

Moon valley

Sort of the view from my bedroom, but again this has been cropped and messed around with after the paint has dried. One day I hope to establish compositions before I start painting.

Aberystwyth Prom.

Low sun, warm light, dark shadows, yes its a Hopper but on a very bad day, Aberystwyth is a small holiday/university town on the far edge of wales. This Hopperesque portrayal is kind of really apt as Aberystwyth is the setting for a series of fabulous 1950s style gangster/detective novels by Malcolm Pryce "Framed in the structure of a hardboiled private detective crime novel, with Aberystwyth evocatively replacing Raymond Chandler’s Los Angeles". Titles include "Aberystwyth Mon Amor", "The unbearable lightness of being in Aberystwyth", Last Tango in Aberystwyth" you get the idea.

Carys, Oil on Card A3.

Carys my luvly daughter, shes probably going to be a better painter than me. And a better speller.

Aberystwyth Pier Starlings roosting.Oil A4.

I Have cropped this one again, its more about the fizzy texture the flock against the silky soft waves, its more as intended originally. Might paint this again, more flock required.

Whicker Chair Watercolur A3

Dinefwr Castle, Watercolour, A3 size.

Historic Welsh castle, taken over by the Normans, then the Welsh a few times, home of the Lord Rhys, founder of the first Eisteddfod (Cultural competition), its a couple of miles from my house.

Sunset Chimneys

Oil on card 7 inches by 4 inches.
Liked the idea that the main charachters onstage, ie the three smokes, are formed and moved by invisible external forces, so this is geting to be a painting about invisible subject matter.

Door Shadow

This is an attempt to use an even more limited palette, on pretty minimalist subject matter.

Stairs Light, oil on card 4inches by 3 inches.

Similar pallette to last, I liked the

ordinary mundane nature of the subject matter.

Porch Light, oil on card 3inches by 7 inches.

Well this was an attempt at using a more limited pallette, including black. Again title actor is offstage.

Farmyard edge 1

This picture is not quite finished.

Farmyard edge 2

Another painting about a cusp space.

This hill just seemed to rise and rise into the

sky.

Hot boring mindnumbing, hence I paint it.

Morning Crows

Morning Crows, just what was I thinking.

Dryslwyn garage

Disused garage in sunset.
