RMS Painting Submissions 2013

Well I’ve painted another five miniatures for the Royal Miniature Society and took them up to the hand-in day on Sunday. Will have to wait until late Wednesday to find out if they’ve been excepted for the exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London. The exhibition starts on Wednesday 16th October 2013 and runs for two weeks. If you get time it is very well worth a visit as you will get to see some amazing miniature paintings of extremely fine portraits, beautiful landscapes, delicately painted pets & animals, silhouettes, detailed country life scenes and marine seascapes. See you there, maybe?

Below are the images I submitted.

New Print Release – Sunset over Old Poole Power Station

I’ve just released a limited edition print of a sunset over the old Poole power station. I thought this would be of interest because it is now the sight of the new Twin Sails Bridge in Poole.

Latest Commission

Here is my latest commission of Lulworth Cove on Dorset’s Jurassic Coastline.

Loved the challenge of this painting. Plenty of texture in the cliffs and loved getting the effects of water ripples in the sea as the tide came in. Also had fun with the reflections on the water.
