Summer New Forest Picnic - oil painting 20" x 28"

During October 2017 this oil painting was created displaying a common and timeless scene that takes place in the new Forest, Hampshire. It is one with a family gathering together for a camping holiday during the summer. In the background can be seen a camping site. Separating the family and the site is a small stream, hidden in the painting.

Oil paint was used, a sheet of mounting board being used as the support. The image is sized at 20” x 28” and took approximately two weeks to create.

The painting can be seen in greater detail on this link.

Bournemouth Pier summer morning from cliff top

Bournemouth Pier summer morning from cliff top 

This small 10” x12” oil painting was done in March 2014. It shows the famous pier at Bournemouth, Dorset, in the UK, from the cliff tops during a summers morning. Already some holiday makers are settling down on the beach which will become very busy as the day goes on. In the distance can be seen the Purbecks.

The pier, in its current form, was built in the 1950s and features a theatre.

dinosaur fun playing Volleyball on a beach vacation

dinosaur fun playing volleyball on a beach vacation

This digital illustration was painted using photoshop during October 2012 to A4 size. It illustrates a group of cartoon dinosaurs on vacation, at a beach, playing volleyball in the water. The dinosaurs are probably quite young and on is a female, dressed in a bikini. I wanted the image to be fun and the bright, colourful location works well with the colourful dinosaurs themselves, and their swimwear. The dinosaur on the left is loosely based on a Tyrannosaurus rex, the middle one a Triceratops and the long necked one with sun glasses a Diplodocids.

These three paints are painted in oil on canvases measuring 16"x20". They were painted during early June, one after another in a very economical style, taking about one and a half days each to do. They are based on photos but heavily rejigged to get a nice composition. Hengistbury head features in the top painting, a land mark in the local area of Bournemouth, Dorset, UK.
