Another beautiful day, so I went for an early morning walk into Blenheim Park to revisit the wonderful old oaks. I’ve been painting a lot of cold winter landscapes recently so refreshing to focus on summer.

Like a bird on a wire (2) – Sticking with the birds theme for this painting in ink and watercolour. I seem to be painting a lot of ‘bird’ pictures at the moment, my first painting bird on a wire, below has received far more tumblr notes than anything else I’ve posted to date.

A bit of a change of mood with this painting of travellers at Grand Central, New York. I love the way the light silhouettes the people emerging from the darkness. 

I have used coloured pencils over the watercolour painting to achieve the textures in this painting. A cold and snowy night in uptown Manhattan.

Having a productive week painting so far! Recently sold two of my bird paintings – ‘rooks’ and ‘like a bird on a wire’ (see below) this is in the same series but in a stormy New York setting.

A new painting for the exhibition in July at One Art Space, I’ve painted Central Park, New York a number of times now and still find it incredibly inspiring.

New York exhibition opening July 12th

Delighted to be exhibiting my new paintings at One Art Space in Tribeca this summer.
The earlier New York paintings have been very successful in UK so hoping that they are as popular in the city that inspired them. Exciting times!
