In this painting I have incorporated the skeleton of a horse, taken from a drawing made in the Natural History Museum with vestigial faces in the rock face and a series of butterflies, representing the soul.

This is one of a series of works which deal with the current function of old rolling stock from the railways, left over from Mr Beeching’s reorganisation.

This work is a second in the abandoned rolling stock series. This one may have a limited life, as Jefferies Yard is awaiting redevelopment.

This second work was also for Mosborough Hall. This staircase was awaiting refurbishment.

This is a commissioned gouache for Mosborough Hall hotel, near Sheffield.

Portland Stone

Linda lives in Spittal near Berwick on Tweed. This boat was the harbour master’s skiff, and after it was not needed any more, Linda acquired it. She had it lifted over her single storey house, where it remains, landlocked.

This painting was to illustrate the paradox that a body of water which is dominated by a huge industrial complex is actually quite clean, and can sustain many varieties of fish.

This lovely relic can be seen in Clare in Suffolk.

Chris Pink’s trike

This painting is taken from a photograph rather than directly from life. It is on the banks of the Loire. In the original, the foreground was roadway, but I have painted dogwood from my garden as it reflected the colours of the vehicle.

Seen in Suffolk abandoned in a field, this dinosaur struck a chord…immobile expensive kit.

This wagon stands in the grass entrance to Mr Horn’s farm, and still contains the meat hooks which were used to transport carcases on the railway.

This is in an elephants’ graveyard of abandoned farm machinery of all types. I really relished the way in which nature was taking over.

This is another image from Greta Berlin’s garden..what a lovely relic.

Greta Berlin is a well known sculptor, living in a secluded wood in Dorset. This caravan is in the rising grounds of her property, and was brought here by her daughter and abandoned some years ago, so nature is reclaiming it.

The somewhat dilapidated state of the greenhouse/extension to the chicken house was irresistible.

This bicycle has sat in Norman and Anthea’s hedge for many years. In the Summer it disappears, so this was painted in the Spring when it was still visible.

This car has been in the same spot for ten years. I was concerned that it would be tidied up, so felt impelled to record its resting place before this happened.

The word tambo in Ecuador means resting place. This bus was by the roadside in the country around Cuenca.

This painting is a commission which celebrates the cherry blossom which comes in April for a short but glorious period.

This painting is one of a set of four commissioned works which were carried out in a garden in Hampshire.

I have always liked graveyards, headstones, ancient carving, locations, lichens and so on. This is a stone found in Trumpington Churchyard, Cambridge.

Hazelholt Park had this elaborate but decaying back gate. This has now been removed when the adjacent lodge cottage was renovated. The reason for choosing this subject in the first instance was because of a painting by Leonora Carrington.

The Moors is a site of special scientific interest and this painting celebrates its unique position on the edge of the village, and also the time when all the gardens near my house were open, no dividing fences.

This commissioned piece reflects the diverse blueness of the plants shown.
