Pastoral is a large painting of cattle on the farm here on a hazy summers evening. This is probably one of the largest paintings I have produced and took several weeks to complete in the studio. Fortunately the cows often graze in the field alongside my studio so I was able to refer back to them when I needed to. The key to this painting was the interesting light and the composition of the cattle. It very much reminds me of bringing the cows in for milking, giving it a sense of nostalgia.

Barn Girls iii is the latest in a series of cow paintings based on the farm where my studio is located. The dairy cows are kept in a barn over the winter and are a familiar sight each day when I come to work. it is hard not to resist painting them. This is the largest I have attempted so far. and I am still enjoying painting them.  The previous paintings in this series have sold.

Reverie is a oil painting done after a trip over to Heir Island in April. It was a fine day and we walked the length of the island passing this scene as we went. The large cow was on her own in the field with what seemed a slightly unusual backdrop of a seascape. The colours of the landscape had not yet changed from their winter hues making for an interesting scene of quiet and solitude in landscape surrounded by water

I painted dairy cows over the winter of 2018/19. They were rather conveniently over wintering on my uncle's farm where my studio is located. This meant I could easily return several times to the scene as I painted it. This is the first one I painted in January in a cool winter light. Barn girls is framed in a dark, solid ash frame.

Barn Girls ii is the second of the oil paintings of dairy cows on my uncles farm. The light is warmer in this one as it was painted in the autumn. Available framed in a dark solid ash frame.

This painting is available as a signed and number limited edition print which you can find on the print section of this website
