A large painting from late 2022, rich in texture and close interest.

'you can lose your heart in Ionian seas'
Oil and other media on canvas
120cm X 100cm
A deceptively simple, close-up seascape with the feel of sea-spray and waves against block colours of violet, turquoise and rich copper sand.

A painting from 2019/2020 that now lives in Norfolk.
'cornflowers'
Oil on deep edge canvas
40cm x 40cm
A small, contemporary oil painting named 'cornflowers' which uses a palette of cadmium orange, cerulean blue, black and white to produce a simple, eye-catching landscape painting. The cornflowers themselves are represented by small, uneven blue rounds in the foreground.

I don't do this often as I should, mainly due to being good for nothing after about 6pm! Sketches featuring the fantastic @europeanartforbreakfast .

A newish painting with explanation in alt text. Big Wave, oil on board, about 40cm X 40cm
An abstracted seascape in oil painting, with a palette based on Payne's grey and transparent earth red. The painting is designed to take you to your own thoughts and interpretations, rather than represent a specific place. The sky is veiled in depth, with a foreground painted as flat pattern. The painting in the other photo, but displayed as framed and on a wall.

I have a Myles. He is the human, with Arthur our boy, who appears to be a scruffy version of your Miles.
