Frieze Artwork

Working with the Made in Greenwich Gallery, I have developed a number of ideas for interior design projects. Largely exploring the idea of bespoke frieze deigns for application to walls in either a paper or canvas material.

The first results are shown here:

National Maritime Museum Art Club Annual Exhibition 2013

The National Maritime Museum Art Club Annual Exhibition is currently on show at the Paul McPherson Gallery 77 Lassell Street, Greenwich, London, SE10 9PJ.

The show lasts until Saturday 22 June and comprises marine themed paintings, drawings and prints from members of the Art Club.

I am fortunate to have three paintings on show this year. All work in the exhibition is for sale.

Canadian Corvettes in acrylics with a second corvette
 painting in the background

Officer of the Watch acrylic

Castle in the Air, also in acrylic

Aviation work

I have an exhibition later in the year which will be a combination of marine and aviation work. So at the moment I am looking at themes related to both subjects. I am particularly drawn to the early days of aviation and a number of works from that period will feature in the show, but the first subject will probably be a daring Mosquito raid on a French Chateau during World War II.

Footage exists on YouTube of the raid I wish to portray, well worth viewing.

I have begun the preliminary work on the composition but there is much to do before embarking on the final painting.

The pose selected is from behind and slightly above.

My intention is  to capture the drama of a very low level raid.

The first attempt to capture the colour values
