Here are a couple of older paintings I did a few years ago.
One is an acrylic painting of the ‘Forest of Dean’. I went there in my late twenties and was really seduced by it’s beauty.
The second is a watercolour of a barn owl flying low over a field one summer evening. It was one of the first watercolours I ever tried to paint. This was also inspried by real life. I once saw a barn owl flying low like this just a few feet from me in the golden evening light of Cambridgeshire. It was more beautiful than I can say.
Here’s the picture…
Thanks, the experience of seeing one in silent flight left a big impression on me I think.

The drawing of fields in this way is eye catching for me. There is something in my heart regarding such drawings since I was kid. Thanks for wonderful pictures
