Monty
Code O0905

PRINTS AVAILABLE: Code P0905:
A3 Print on Fine Art Paper
£30 + £5 postage & packing.

What a lovely, friendly labrador. Monty 'sat' for me beautifully and this pencil sketch was produced from the myriad of photographs I took. I included his little toy, because when he meets you, even for the first time, he brings his toy and nudges it against your hand in greeting. Monty also likes attending caravan rallies, hence the grassy rally field and easy-chair in the background.

The owners of this beautiful labrador have given permission for limited edition prints to be run from the original commission.

ORIGINAL PENCIL SKETCH 12" x 16"

Mr Young's Stationary Engine
Code: O0906

PRINTS AVAILABLE: Code P0906:
A3 Print on Fine Art Paper
£30 + £5 postage & packing.

A son's birthday present to his father.
I attended the Great Gransden Show for the first time in late September 2009 and (with permission from owners) was taking photographs of tractors as resources for future artwork, in particular a lovely vintage tractor, when a young man cornered me and asked if I was an artist, to which I replied 'Yes'. He promptly asked if I could paint a picture of a stationary engine which belonged to his father, and which was shown regularly at steam meets. The father's birthday was early November, so I had less than three weeks to learn about engines and produce a painting. A real challenge, but great fun!

Permission given to produce Limited Edition Prints


ORIGINAL: WATER COLOUR and gum arabic.
Completed October 2009. Unframed 12" x 16".
Ralph - No!
Code: O0702

PRINTS AVAILABLE: Code P0702:
A3 Print on Fine Art Paper
£30 + £5 postage & packing.

The owners of this beautiful labrador pup have given permission for 10 limited edition prints to be run from the original commission.

The reason for the stern title is that whilst Ralph was growing up, he was into anything and everything, and 'No!' was the customary call; and of course in this instance it is because of the poisonous fly agaric mushroom, bottom right where 'Ralph's' nose is poised, precariously, to do himself some mischief. I accompanied the owners and Ralph on a walk through Sandringham woods, which gave me the idea for the picture
