On this page are a few examples of paintings or drawings from sketchbooks. These pictures are to show the background to some of the paintings found elsewhere.

Beach on the Maldives

This is a little watercolour of a beach in the Maldives. The pencil sketch on the right shows how the bushes are grown, with coconut husks surrounding the small plant.

Allington & All Cannings

This sketch forms the basis for a larger oil painting, which can be found under 'Wiltshire Landscapes'. The picture was drawn with football on the radio, and Sam - our Spaniel - champing to get on with his walk.

Cart in Sateano

This old cart was sat under an Oak Tree in a field near Sarteano in Tuscany. Drawing this cart with a glass of red wine was a good way to spend a summers evening!

Cadgwith on a Chequebook!

On a summer holiday in Cornwall, with only a the back of a chequebook and a biro! I've not turned this into a painting yet, but it's still on the pin board

Shepherds Hut

This is one of the few etchings that I've done. It shows a shepherds hut, whcih can still be found in hidden corners of the Pewsey Vale. This one still had a ring of sheep hurdles around it.
