Once in a Blue Moon
One of a series of my space paintings, inspired by watching the night sky in different hemispheres. It is named because of the small blue and white moon just above the main large planet. I remember being in New Zealand, far from any town, right out in the countryside, late in the evening and looking up at the stars. My beautiful wife and I were transfixed at how clear they were and how many! away from light pollution of any kind, the sky seemed so full of stars and wonder. even at this mature stage in my life and having seen so many wonders in this world, we were just in awe of the superb sight above our heads. Something we shared and will treasure forever. Acrylic on gallery deep edge canvas. SOLD. In the private collection of Mr & Mrs. Harvey.

Worlds Apart
Worlds Apart. A painting in my series of planets/constellations, one that is even more special to me as it was purchased by a much respected and talented fellow artist. There is no higher praise for one's work than when it is purchased by another artist, in my humble opinion. Acrylic on deep edge canvas. SOLD. In private U.K. collection.

New Beginnings
New Beginnings. This is one of a new series of paintings where I have been experimenting with texture, paint density and structure and control of the flow of pigments and their interaction with one another. Inspired by viewing images of galaxies and constellations, I wanted to create my own artwork depicting these wonderful and amazing phenomenon entirely from my own imagination. Acrylic on deep edge canvas. 35.5cm (14in) wide x 25cm (10in) high X 3.5cm (1.5in) deep. All sizes are approximate. AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE. Please email me for further details.
Out of this world
Out of this world.This abstract was inspired by viewing photographs of constellations. However, I wanted to construct an image that was entirely of my own imagination. I developed over some considerable time of experimenting, a way of making not only the colours blend under some control, but also to provide texture and give the effect of a kind of electrical storm taking place. There is so much to "see" in this painting, different people had their favourite areas of the subject and it was well received and sold as soon as it was exhibited. Acrylic on deep box canvas. 20 in x 20 in. x 1.25 in. Approximately. SOLD. In the private collection of Mr. & Mrs. Watts.
Into the Light
Into the Light. I so enjoyed making this painting, experimenting with different techniques with the textures of the planets, learning new things, even after all my years of painting as I hope to do every day. I planned a little, but as the painting progressed it seemed to talk to me and my mind and hands became one in the creation of this work. It is a favourite of my lovely lady wife (as are many of my works), however it is now in the private collection of an esteemed client and displayed in their new home. Acrylic on deep edge gallery canvas. 30"x 24"x 1.5". All sizes are approximate. SOLD. In the private collection of Mr & Mrs Harvey, U.K.
that Light Bulb Moment
That Lightbulb Moment. "THAT LIGHT BULB MOMENT" This was inspired when having a conversation with a great friend and she just uttered that phrase, as soon as I heard those words I knew there was a painting there somewhere! SOLD. In private U.K. collection
