No Waiting
84 x 158cm
£ 5000
Layers of paint, washed off with turps and layered over. Painted on an old canvas addings its textures and shadows. Dating from 1992/3 it is exhibited at my gallery in France.
Corn Cob
33 x 29 cm
£ 850
This is a beautiful found object from an unharvested corn field at Terre Noire, a neighbour's farm. The property is a vineyard and the owners have a beautiful large watercolour of mine, swapped for a barrel of wine.
Onions
50 x 70 cm
£ 950
Onions showing green shoots at the end of the winter.
The Cold Grey Sound
26 x 36 cm
£ 600 instead of £750
A icy day on Kintyre, looking across the cold wind-swept Sound to the hints of Jura hiding in the low scudding clouds.
Crear
40 x 40 cm
£ 500 instead of £800
A gorgeous November day. Bracken golden browns and metallic blue sea in the chilly sunshine.
Sold
Snow on the tops
70 x 100 cm
This was a belter of a day in May. Icy Northerly wind, new snow on the Paps of Jura, bright dark water with white horses racing down the Sound. A day seized.
Slade Harbour
60 x 60
£ 1250 instead of £1600
Slade Harbour. Painted when Louise was singing at Wexford Opera Festival. I love the strong contrasts, the repeated shapes, patterns and reflections of light and shadow. It’s curious that when light is reflected it obscures whereas when darkness is reflected it enables you to see through the surface. Oil on canvas, 60x60cm
Le Taille 2
27 x 29 cm
£ 800
Taille des vignes, pruning the vines. One of my favourite paintings created in the Beaujolais. The vignerons are truly part of the territory. In this work the landscape, the activity and the winemaker are one.
