Equine Dreaming is 44x54 inches large, framed red painting of two black Arabian horses, abstract style, in a poppy field. This painting was originally painted to show me as a little girl in a poppy field dreaming of the two horses I would one day own. Unfortunately I grew up allergic to horses so this never happened. Instead, I painted them. Recently I made the painting more abstract and added a red background. You can still see a suggestion of poppies and green fields, hills and trees beyond the two back horses and you can still see a little girl in a yellow dress picking poppies and dreaming of horses. I chose red simply because it works well with black and is the complement to green which was the original background colour. The painting is framed in a metallic burnished copper and silver frame, two inches wide and 1.5 inches deep. The shine works beautifully with the shine of the two horses and the radiant red background. See video at: https://youtu.be/Qy5AHbu9kX0 -

The watchers in the forest is a very large original oil painting - 48x48x2 inches showing a walk through a rainbow forest with watching deer. The painting depicts a very vibrant woodland path that invites the viewer into it and because it is a large painting, does it quite effectively. The path leads through dark trees to the edge of the forest where there is a clearing that is so bright you cannot see what is in it. But whatever is in it, it is something you really want to be there. At the edge of the forest with the light behind them are deer and stags. They watch and wait as deer do. The paint is very thick and was made by building many thick layers of paint over each other over several months. The dark colour in not black but is a series of dark greens, blues, purples and magenta which can be seen changing as the sun moves around the room it is in. The contrast between the dark and light colours makes the painting shimmer like a stained glass window. This theme is one I come back to often, partly because I walk in alot of forests and see deer in them, and partly because forests thrill me and terrify me in equal measure. I often feel I will find something wonderful on coming out of a forest - if I do mange to get out of it. It feels like life - part danger - part thrill but always interesting... -

Horse Metamorphosis is a 31.5 x 47x.0.5 inches large contemporary red oil painting of beautiful gold Arabian horse against an abstract bright red background. The golden horse dances in the foreground inside a dark forest with mottled light falling in patches on the path out towards the clearing. The path leads out of the woods and into a glowing summer wildflower meadow. Veils of transparent bright red hang over the scene as the horse begins to emerge from that world into a different one. The painting was started years ago simply to reflect the happiness I get when looking at a beautiful horse but become something more when the red veils were added which gives it a real presence. The original message of the painting was that there is more to life than hiding in the dark. I think now the message is more that there are other realities and that is worth exploring them. It is painted on thin edged canvas painted red, ready to hang. See Video: https://youtu.be/RadVPQOxiNo -

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 -

GIGGER'S ISLAND, Poole Bay in Dorset. This island is one of a number of small islands in this beautiful part of the English southern coastline in Dorset. Once a valley, this island and a small number of others, are all that have emerged since the ice age. Gigger's is predominantly a wild bird sanctuary and gulls flock there in their hundreds, hunting and breeding in peace. Painted in mixed media for the rocks, and smooth brush work for the sky, sea and the birds themselves, to create a 3D type of effect adding depth to the piece with movement and vibrancy - on quality fine linen. Painted in oils and mixed media on a quality fine French linen fabric, hand stretched and using the best quality oil paints. -
