Lilacs are a special blossom, with integrity, for they are honest with their beauty. I love their colour, their form and, of course, their perfume. I painted them in Andalucia Spain very recently and to do them full justice they are framed in a museum quality moulding, as shown in the frame detail. This is one of my favourite oil paintings, simply called 'Lilacs of Andalucia' and and would need a very special place to hang. Painted in oils on wood panel and framed in a high quality moulding of black wood with an inner silver slip. Ready to hang -

This was painted in oils on linen from a real life set up under controlled lighting. A still life painting of this beautiful flower set in a Bakelite jug with cork and apple. Painted in the classical manner achieved by an accurate under drawing and the layering of translucent glazes to give a quality photo realism finish. The quality frame with silver leaf on wood is included in the price and is ready to hang. -

Memory of Spring is a 40x40x1.5 inches large semi abstract oil painting of an English bluebell wood in springtime. It was inspired by the bluebells, wildflowers and pink blossom you see in patches of woodland around Sussex in April and May every year. Although it is contemporary in painting style, it still hints quite well at the flowers and yellow green saplings and trees of spring. It was painted from memory, as most of my landscapes are, as that tends to distill the composition and details right down to simplicities making the feeling of the painting and the magical element of forests and trees more prevalent than the botanical details. I love the fairy tale ancient landscapes of England and the magic quality you can find in forest clearings and fields and I never tire of trying to capture this fascination in the paintings that I make. The painting has white edges, ready to hang, no frame needed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1vLQRtLpnE -

Summer Playground is a 40x40x1.4 inches large semi abstract oil on canvas of a summer meadow with wildflowers and swallows. I painted it after a walk through fields and farmland between Hartfield and Ashurstwood in Sussex on a very hot July day. There was wheat and barley and corn growing in the fields and at the edges there were a myriad of wildflowers growing. Insects were buzzing and the birds were singling and calling in the trees of the hedgerows and patches of woodland. One particular meadow had swallows flying up and down incredibly fast using the thermals which made them even faster than they usually are. They were not doing it for any obvious reason other than it was fun I think. I am happy at the way the colours on this painting merge and seem to melt together slightly as it is reminiscent of the heat of this day and has captured it well for me. I can hear the birds and the insects, smell the crops and the flowers and remember how happy it makes me feel. England in summer is fleeting and sunny days are a minority so it is good to catch them when they occur which I think I have done. The painting has white edges and is ready to hang. It does not need a frame. Video at: https://youtu.be/wreKAJHQ5q8 -
