Sorry that I haven’t updated you on my artwork recently, I have been busy creating lots of new pictures, as well as working on my photography and taking a course in film photography. But anyway, here is an update of my latest paintings.

Ely Ice Cream Van I really like this picture, it has lots of colour in it and looks quite traditional. I think it picks up a nice detail on Ely market.

Through the Beach Huts II, Southwold This is one of my favourite photographs, so it only seemed right that I should have a go at painting it. I think it has worked well, the colours are more dominant than the photograph, but I think it gives a nice effect.

The West Window, Salisbury Cathedral This is a detail picture of the West Window at the cathedral in Salisbury. It is taken from right at the base of the window while on the tower tour, so provides an unusual view. I really like the stong colours in the images and the amount of detail in the picture.

The Wine Merchant, Cambridge This is another picture in the series of Cambridge images I am trying to create that are not based on colleges. I really like the traditional style of the building, and the cycle detail at the bottom.

Great Court, Trinity College, Cambridge This is probably the most famous court in the country, it’s a panoramic images and I like the way that it leads the eye around to see all the interesting details.

I have been working on lots of new artwork recently, following is a round-up of all the new pictures I have painted and a short description of each.

I think my favourite is the Sole Bay Inn, Southwold. It just has so much detail and interest. It’s also quite special to me as I have been on holiday to Southwold many times in the past. I hope you enjoy looking at the rest of them.

The Sole Bay Inn, Southwold This is a small pub in Southwold, which should be familiar to anyone who has visited this small seaside town on the Suffolk coast. I really love the colour contrast in the picture, and it holds lots of good memories for me.

The Cathedral Lantern, Ely This study of the Lantern on Ely Cathedral gave me the opportunity to paint lots of detail in, it is the second in a selection of studies of different parts of Ely Cathedral.

Senate House in Snow, Cambridge When I started to paint this picture I wasn’t really sure about how it was going to turn out. It just looked really grey and miserable, however when I finally added the spots of colour to the grass under the melting snow, and to the urn in the centre I thought it sprung to life and now I am really pleased with the results.

Rose Crescent, Cambridge I thought it was time to try and paint parts of Cambridge that are not just the colleges, and this was the first one I have tried. I really like the result, and the bikes make it look like a typical Cambridge scene, while the person in the background adds some life.

Robinson College, Cambridge This painting is of my college and therefore had to happen at some point. I really like the variation of greens on the lead in, as well as the many different colours in the bricks.

Clare College, Cambridge Another classic Cambridge college, I really like the lavender details in the lead in to this picture.

St John’s College Chapel II, Cambridge This is the second painting I have done of St John’s Chapel and I like the way the red brick hall offers a contrast to the sandstone of the main chapel.

Magdalene College, Cambridge I like all the garden details in this painting, and it offers a different view of a college, rather than simply being the front entrance. I’m going to try and paint more of the colleges in views that are less commonly seen.
