Landscape Watercolour of South Glos, 15" x 11" on Bockingford NOT Paper 140 lbs
An anonymous country road to Old Sodbury, a little village near me. I don't often do winter scenes and often prefer to do paintings of a summer location with bright light and lots of shadow. But it's interesting how with a snowy scene it's not just all white, but on closer observation many other colours appear - yellows, blues, violets and so on and provide contrasts of their own with the trees and branches.

Not too far away from where I live and one of the oldest Fish and Chip shops in the Bristol area, serving the greatest British take away dish. I had to make up the couple sat on the wall of the car park of course tucking into their meal served on paper. It gets busy here on a Friday!

It's late in the day and the shoppers still throng the myriad of alley ways and shopping streets around the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. In addition to carpets and kilims (flat rugs), popular purchases in Turkey include colourful tiles, plush towels and hamam (Turkish bath) accessories, antiques, gold jewellery, and scarves, slippers, and other textile products. The Grand Bazaar and other shops in the vicinity offer the broadest variety of such traditional crafts in one place, as well as an atmospheric setting.

Central Trapani on the west coast of sicily, Piazza Vittorio Emanuele is an open haven made of part massive open air car park and park ornate gardens fronting the local government and bank buildings. In this painting I tried to get a feeling of a sultry summer's evening before the light finally disappears. It's just the time when the whole town comes to life after sheltering from the heat of the day.

Tavira is a lovely little town, just along the Algarve coast from Faro. There's no 'health & safety' at the railway station. To get to the other platform, just look both ways and cross the single track rail.

One of the few 'major' roads on the Isles of Scilly, Lower Strand runs down the centre of Hugh Town with the North Beath and Porthcressa Beach on either side. Up the side of the road there's little cottages mostly turned into B & Bs, with pretty front gardens mostly filled with blue Agapanthus lilies and exotic looking Aloes.
