SAD DONKEY

Nottingham, England

Gouache

10 X 8

This donkey was at a farm I visited while on a trip. It was actually well cared for but just looked a little forlorn.

SHEEP IN HIGH PLACES

The Lake District NW England

Oil on canvas 

24x12

Herdwick sheep are a hardy breed that seem to be found everywhere in the Lake District. They stare down intruders until they decide you're not a threat and then continue eating.

DARTMOOR

South west England

Oil on canvas

36 x 16 inches.     

I recently reworked this painting after starting it about 30 years ago.

Although Dartmoor is the location of one of the UK's most infamous prisons, the sheep are free to wander wherever the want.

HOME AND HOSED DOWN

Oil on Canvas

12 x 9 inches

This painting was done for 

the horse’s owner in the UK.

I like the calm atmosphere of a stable, 

so in this painting I wanted 

the horse‘s home to be as important 

as the animal itself.

 HOT DAY, COLD BEER 

River street, Savannah

Gouache on paper 

10 x 10

The following are a couple of sketches I did 

in gouache on a recent trip down south.

On river street there's no shortage of places to stop, take a break and watch the ships make their way along the Savannah River.

RIVER STREET

Savannah, Georgia

10x10

gouache on paper

The heritage buildings on river street 

are required to maintain their original characteristics.

The old architecture makes for some interesting backdrops to the people as they go about their day.

This is one of a series of  sketches I painted while travelling down there.
