CIRCLE OF LIFE
The start of a sunflower composition! I’ve recyled this 36 x 36″ canvas from a previous composition; I’ve merely turned the canvas around, restretched and primed it for this painting! I think every painter should attempt sunflowers at least once! Al
THE AFGHAN ROSE
I now seldom work in watercolour so this is a rare painting of mine in a frame purchased at a Topsham antiques market on the quay!
The Afghan rose, a saddler in the bazaar of Tashkourgan occasionally interrupts his work to breathe a rose with infinite delicacy. The old craftsman then seems to escape from this world.
Mahmad Niyaz, May 1967. Original image by Roland and Sabrina Michaud.
BLUE PYRAMID
Continuing with the Glastonbury Festival theme next on the easel is one from 2019 and The Killers with Blue Pyramid! an acrylic on 1000 x 500mm canvas! Al
I’ve started with some Payne’s Grey to define the structures and then have used some acrylic aerosol spray to flatten the sky. I love the effects you get when you paint over the top of the spray because sometimes the tube paint is slightly repelled by the undercoat, we’ll see how it goes!

REVISITING GLASTONBURY
With the passing of Glastonbury 2024 I’ve decided on choosing a familiar subject. This is my first painting in some time! There is nothing quite like standing close to the front of the Pyramid Stage when it’s on fire! I think everyone who loves music should experience once in their lifetime! Entiteled Pyramid on Fire, acrylic on canvas 30 x 20″. This picture will be available as a print too! Al
Framed in a new home!
LAST BATCH OF OLD PAINTINGS
This is the last batch of old paintings I’ve pulled out of dark, dusty corners in my house; that is unless I decide to look in the attic! It’s quite nice discovering them again although they were painted quite a while ago now! Please click on the image to see the enlarged picture! Once again thanks for looking and please collection only! Al

GRAFFITI UNDER WATERLOO.
We had a weekend in London and early one morning I popped out of our hotel The Park Plaza in Westminster and visited Leake Street where graffiti artists are at work. These are a few pictures from this journey through spray can land!
FLOWN THE COOP!
A couple of paintings past have found new homes! I’ve had these on my studio wall for some time now and have enjoyed them immensely so now they’ve got new walls to adorn and the love is shared!
