I painted this 'en plein air' in oils on board on a windy day at Egdean near Petworth. I was on a painting weekend with artist Jenny Tyson who inspired us with Scottish artist Joan Eardly's lively, wild and espressive work. Joan would often collage bits and pieces into her paintings to add texture as I have done here with some cow parsley seeds. I loved the row of silvery young trees (Poplars I think) which echoed the shapes of the Downs.

This painting has been donated to a silent auction fundraising event in London on 6 November 2024 for very worthwhile charity:

Isla del Lido from the Cipriani Venice, oil on box canvas, 53.5 x 103.5 cm, in white tray-frame
From a small, direct watercolour in a sketchbook, this was painted in oils on canvas years later in my studio. I was priviledged to tutor some watercolour botanical art courses based at the Cipriani Hotel in Venice and I seized any brief opportunities to paint the inspirational surroundings. The ever-changing light effects were stunning.
