Original version
There’s nothing quite like owning a piece of original art. You can clearly see the ink and brushstrokes and feel the layers of collaged papers and paint all the lumps and bumps that make it real. You can connect directly with the energy that went into making it...
Artist’s quality paints and materials are always used and paintings are given a final coat of transparent UV varnish on completion. This keeps the colours bright and lively. Each original is signed either on the front or the back and comes with a signed and dated certificate of authenticity.

Stretched Canvas Print version
A ready to hang, professionally printed and stretched giclée canvas print. All artwork has been specially designed to continue around the edge of the canvas (gallery/museum wrap) except where it didn’t suit the image – in which case the sides of the canvas are white. Most canvases are stretched on 38mm bars, except smaller canvases which are on 19mm bars.

Rolled Canvas Print version
A top quality, rolled canvas print – perfect for stretching or framing yourself. All prints have been specially designed to fit standard size wooden stretcher bars. We allow for full gallery wrap on 38mm stretcher bars: the image continues around the sides for a seamless look, rather than being mirrored which is the usual practice. You can frame it behind glass in a standard size frame or have it professionally stretched onto wooden stretcher bars to create a ready-to-hang canvas. Or, if you fancy a bit of DIY, you can stretch your own! Here’s a suggested frame suppliers in the UK - canvasandstretcherbars.co.uk

Winter Colour was created on a piece of watercolour paper which I had previously textured with acrylic paint. It had been patiently waiting around in a drawer for inspiration to strike. It was just the thing to use as a starting point for this colourful village scene, where I wanted a textured wall and an aged look to the elements.

These beautiful old doors with decorative metalwork are much in evidence in many parts of Greece, including my home village in the south Peloponnese. The scene was painted from the imagination, drawing on such remembered images and adding some creative licence. The whitewashed steps are beautifully textured and glint in the winter sunshine. The old door has seen better days but sports smart white lace curtains… and the plants are healthy and lush from the winter rains.

This mixed media painting was created with layers of acrylic paint, wax and ink on watercolour paper. The back side of this original is coated with thin layer of  blue acrylic paint, which I only spotted later in the painting process! The finished painting has been given a couple of coats of clear spray UV varnish.
