Bow at Moorhouse. A place full of childhood memor Bow at Moorhouse. 
A place full of childhood memories which on revisiting feels just as mysterious now as when I was at junior school. My friend Scotty and I were in a gang ( just the two of us really) and we would spend the days tramping across these fields and in the big wood making dens and hiding from each other. Home for tea with a filthy tee shirt and one wellie full of frog spawn. I’m trying to make a painting shorthand for the landscape which keeps the spirit of the location without losing that mystery.

Field near Raughton Head, Will’s house in the ba Field near Raughton Head, Will’s house in the background. Oil on canvas board. 40x24cm. Thought this mass of dense vegetation in this field very near where I live looked almost continental. I’ll have to get in touch with Brian- the farmer who owns the land to find out what this crop is apart from the daisies in the foreground.

The commission that kept me busy up until November The commission that kept me busy up until November. Ravenscraig steel works at night. A departure from my usual subjects which I really enjoyed painting even though it was to a very concise brief. “The Craig” was closed in 1992 then taken down in 1996, so I had to work from photographs taken when it was active. 
I was inspired by one image in particular which let me see how I could make this more impressionist than literal. Part of the brief was to have gigantic heaps of coal called ‘Bings’ in front of the works. Painting images of coal in a nocturne was an interesting exercise!

A commission that has kept me going through lockdo A commission that has kept me going through lockdown number one. The Skiddaw Massif from the south end of Derwent water. this time last year i was walking round Derwent water making the preparatory sketches. Always a bit tense to start with but once I'm settled into the painting it becomes more enjoyable. The owners are in it somewhere (not saying where), and there are about nine or ten indigenous birds in the bottom right side of the picture-two of which are so well hidden only the owners know where they are.

Just finished this painting of a shoal. One of the Just finished this painting of a shoal. One of the unusual things you can come across out in the Solway Estuary. The tide has ebbed away from this one leaving a sand bar but leading up to this point it would have water rushing over it from one bit of shallow water to another deeper bit. Sometimes it’s a good place to see fish crossing it to get to the deep water.
