Paintings
Oil, watercolour & mixed media
Oil on canvas
Lion
A close study of power held in stillness. The lion rests his paws and looks beyond the frame—watchful, sovereign, unhurried.
Oil on canvas
Owl in Autumn
A long-eared owl among winter berries. Those amber eyes hold the same intensity as the season—vivid, fleeting, alive.
Oil on canvas
Moonlight, Douglas Bay
The bay at night, the moon diffused through cloud. Gulls rest on a sea that has become a mirror.
Pencil, pen, ink & watercolour
Tower of Refuge and Douglas Promenade
The Tower of Refuge sits in Douglas Bay, its small turret emerging from the water. The promenade curves away behind it—a familiar view rendered in pen and watercolour wash.
Watercolour
The Frozen Lake, Pennsylvania
A winter lake in Pennsylvania held in suspension—ice, bare branches, a sky on the edge of warmth. Everything still, everything waiting.
Oil on canvas
Laxey Valley
The great wheel sits in its valley, framed by dandelion clocks in the foreground. An island's industrial pride softened by the long grass of summer.
Oil on canvas
TT Racer
Speed frozen at its most intense moment—the bike airborne, the crowd a blur behind. A painting that carries noise within its silence.
Watercolour
Floyd & Max
Two brown Dobermans at rest — Floyd and Max. Painted with warmth and economy, capturing the easy companionship of two dogs entirely at home in each other's company.
Pencil, pen, ink & watercolour
Douglas Bay
The promenade on a misty day — the town softened and dissolved by watercolour wash. The fading is the weather itself.
Pencil, pen, ink & watercolour
Pennsylvania Waterfall III
A cascade in rural Pennsylvania—water rushing over dark mossy stone, the surrounding woodland rendered in delicate pen and watercolour wash.
Oil on canvas
Douglas Promenade
The promenade on a foggy grey day — figures and lamp posts dissolving into the mist, the sea barely distinct from the sky. Painted while experimenting with a looser, more abstract technique. A quiet and atmospheric Isle of Man scene.
Pencil, pen, ink & watercolour
Pennsylvania Waterfall I
A cascade in rural Pennsylvania—water tumbling over dark stone in a rush of white. The surrounding woodland stands bare and attentive.
Pencil, pen, ink & watercolour
The Calf of Man
A Manx coastal walk on a clear day, the headland path stretching out toward the Calf of Man beyond. The sea is bright, the air clean, the distance sharply drawn.
