With 11 weeks to go to my 'A Sense of Place' exhibition to be held at Tetbury Goods Shed, Tetbury, Gloucestershire, England (25 September – 3 November) I thought I would share the video ’The Making of Sunlight on Water’ which is an abstract acrylic painting on a 80 x 60 cm stretched canvas created for the exhibition.
I have an exhibition entitled 'A Sense of Place' coming up in 12 weeks to be held at Tetbury Goods Shed, Tetbury, Gloucestershire, England opening on the 25th of September for 6 weeks until the 3rd of November, 2024. I have been creating new artworks for this exhibition for months and plan to share a 'The Making of ..' video each week for the next 12 weeks to let you see what I've been up to. So i thought I would start the series with 'The Making of The Green Vase' which is an acrylic still life painting on a 60 x 80 cm stretched canvas. I hope you enjoy!

Welcome to the new Monochrome Art section in the Gallery.

It’s December 2023 and here in the UK we’ve just had the first snow after several days of heavy frosts. It’s winter, and although it always goes on for longer than I would like, it has its own bleak beauty and is atmospheric. I hope I’ve captured what winter conjures up.

Floating frames are not supplied, but you may opt to get a floating frame for stretched canvas art. They are a 'tray' into which the canvas is glued leaving a space (ie: appearing to 'float') between the frame and canvas. The frames are available in all widths and colours and you can vary the 'gap' as per your preferences too. Most online and retail frame suppliers supply floating frames.
