Inspired by the song of the same name and it probably goes with your hair.

The legacy of pinstripes and pens. A working life need not necessarily be dull.
|
|
|
|

|
This work reminds me of a meal. Lots of layers with a light salting of lines like the condiments.

It's All Been Done Before
|
|
|
With every work I try to do something different but the more you know about art, the more you realise it's all been done before.

I Suspect You Knew All Along
|
|
|
About the secrets which we can't keep.

I thought it was an interesting challenge to depict the suns heat using mostly dark, deep colours. Blue can be just as hot as red.
|
|
|
|

|
This work reminds me of dancehalls as they used to be in the 60's and 70's. The use of glitter glaze on the textured surface is not all that easy to see in the photograph but gives the piece an added dimension, catching the light from different viewpoints.

I saw Led Zepplin perform in the 70's and the song came to mind as the work developed; enough said.

We all have grand designs; some may not happen but without them we would have nothing to look forward to.

Printed in Dec 09 to Jan 10, this work is about New Years resolutions; a mix of determination and hope.

Several layers of over painted collage give this work a lot of depth whilst the two X's give it its name.

This work owes a lot to Miro and the Delaney's. It's rare that I don't have a title but perhaps the work can speak for itself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This work has a 1960's retro feel and there is a slight anomaly in the title because of the flatness of the colour and the hard edged nature of the lines.

A triptych depicting plugs and plug sockets. Life experiences turn on and off outside our control.

The bankers and their bonuses were in the news at the time. Riches don't mean a lot unless they are earned.

This little piece is on box canvas and needs no frame. It goes some way to answering the questions we have been asking since crop circles first appeared.

After the Savoy Truffle and George Harrison.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This piece wraps around a box canvas, the starkness appeals to me and the use of dark and light colours which accentuates the contrasts in textures.
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
We all have our crosses to bear and this is one thing we all share. Painted on a heavily textured box canvas which needs no frame.

The More You See the More You Know
|
|
|
People often say my work reveals itself over time; this little work seems to epitomise that thought.
|
|
|

|
|
|
We all cast shadows and these are no less important than our observable image. Unframed original on stretched canvas.

An arrow with pinstripes points the way.

We all fly too near to the sun on occasions and run the risk of getting our wings burnt. The road paved with good intensions can be easier to avoid with experience. Unframed original on stretched canvas.
|

Just relax when you can. The epitome of cool and balance.

A busy little work with an industrial edge.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
A painting which for me relies on its subtle blend of colour and composition to evoke the peaceful and serene.
|
|
|
|
|
|

When you find the way you will know it.

There is a lot to be said for being caught!

I thought this piece was full of the innocence of a child - bold, bright and honest in its use of pictoral elements.

Life is laced with possible routes, a testiment to the choices we make.

A central path with inviting cul-de-sacs on both sides.

An abstract play of tints gives a sense of sunshine and relaxation in this piece.

Sunset is such sweet sorrow

Geometric compositional elements do not mean a lack of feeling.

The thin blue line is wider than one may think.

This work is very heavily textured incorporating sand ( and a leaf skeleton) to form a vibrant abstract relief piece. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
A heavily textured piece using a very emotional pallet which not only describes its subject but is completed with a good deal of it. |
|

The strongest shape and one of the oldest.

There must be some way out of here

Walking in the shadow of justice
|
| |
We all walk in this shadow and are privileged to do so.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
The use of lettering within this piece echoes the geometric composition. A question which we all must ask of ourselves from time to time. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
A riot of saturated colour which I particularly like in this optimistic piece.
|

So you thought you were alone on the mountain?
