I enjoy the process of every one of my creations, yet this one really spoke to the hearts of both me and Izz. So much so that Izz didn’t want to let it go! This piece was commissioned by Kristen Briede, as a gift for a friend, after they spent some time here in theRead more about Stillness Speaks, Sun Peaks[…]
I am not sure if it comes from living in a deep valley, having moved form the ocean, but I seem to have a fascination with skies and clouds. A trip to Kamloops often affords me a great feeling of space and a near ‘hat full of sky’ as my wonderful partner puts it. FromRead more about Mount Paul[…]
Sun Peaks has some incredible sunsets. For as long as I can remeber I have been mesmerised by the glow of a sunset, and so love the range of skies that living in the mountains can produce. Often the mountain is in shade through the day, then the clouds light up as the sun dipsRead more about Spin Cylce Sunset[…]
Each season in the mountains is incredible, although I think that my favourite one has to be spring time Sun Peaks. After the excitement of the winter snows the warmth and re-birth of spring is a magical time. The creeks flow loud, the birds and deer are back and the green grasses return. Watching theRead more about Sun Peaks Skies[…]
This one is ‘Cloud Factory’, so named as it was a landmark used by my family on the drive from Clearwater to Kamloops. Us kids would keep an eye out for smoky mountian, meaning we were close to the end of our drive. Canvas size is 20 x 40 inches, painted with airbrushed acrylics, completedRead more about The Cloud Factory[…]
Having grown up by the sea and now having re-located to the mountains, this piece was a joy to create. I often miss the hat full of sky and salty smell of the ocean and this painting brought back many memories from summer days on a South wales beach, to lying in a hammock inRead more about Deep Ease[…]
My partner, Izzy, wrote a book. It was her first and hopefully the first of many! The book is titled ‘101 Short Steps to Radiance’ and will be released in November 2011. Part of the book sales will be contributed to the school at Sun Peaks, BC. I, for one, am looking forward to gettingRead more about 101 Steps[…]
Beautiful sunset at Llangennith beach, time for an evening surf. This was always intended to be the partner to ‘Sunset Surfer’, and was painted in 2009, 3 years later than planned! The surfer is my younger brother, in the days when we spent our summers living in a static van, in the dunes, right onRead more about Sunset Surfer Re-visited[…]
Commissioned in 2006 as a fathers day present, where the owners initials have been added to the fuselage, with the iconic Gower Worms Head in the background. The piece measure 14″ X 18″ and is airbrushed acrylic on canvas using my Iwata HP-C and Createx water based acrylics. Limited Edition Print runs are limited toRead more about Spitfire[…]
Evening check of the surf, Llangennith beach, towards Burry Holmes. The first of the set and probably one of the first of my full foray’s into photorealism. Painted in 2006, my younger brother, Owen, is the surfer, who was desperate to get in the water, only to be held up by his ‘arty’ brother andRead more about Sunset Surfer[…]
To imagine being in a hammock, cocktail in hand watching the sun go down. Bliss. An old work colleague, Claire Chrome, had been on a round the world trip with her husband, Matt. When they returned, they brought round a selection of photographs from their trip, this one struck a chord with me as aRead more about Thai Sunset[…]
This illustration is based on an ancient Hindu philosophy and the cover of a heretical scientific journal, by Viv Pope and Dr. Anthony Osbourne (Keele University). My grandfather, N.V. Pope, was looking for an image to use for the cover, only to find that for each of the images he wanted use, it was difficultRead more about Modern Heresy[…]
