Paintings for the living room

Calla Lilies II – White Callas on a Silver-Gold Ground An elegant floral still life: two white calla lilies on tall dark wiry stems stand before a heavily textured silver-gold ground. The upper, larger one opens its trumpet-shaped bloom downward to the left, revealing an orange-red spadix; the lower, smaller […]

Bouquet IV – an airier bouquet in warm pottery Painting on canvas opens the bouquet out until the ground shows between the heads and every flower gets its own space: abstract painting in everything but the subject, because what the eye actually reads is the interval between raised shapes. The […]

Time on the Wall – a cream wall over a black band Abstract painting renders almost the whole canvas as a smoothed cream and ivory plane and closes it along the lower edge with a narrow black band: painting on canvas built on a deliberately extreme proportion. Technique and texture […]

Mosaic of Trees – two trees in tiled squares A square composition – two mosaic trees of square knife tiles lean toward each other, their crowns interweaving into a shared arch overhead, and below them a colour shore band and a pale mosaic reflection: the left trunk rises at a […]

Rainbow Tree – a tree of life in the spectrum A panorama – a tree of life with a rainbow canopy of petal impasto dabs spanning the full width on a warm cream ground threaded with falling colour drips: the spectral range runs left to right – violet at the […]

ZEN Stones – Balance That Calms the Gaze A hyperrealistic still life of perfect peace: on a warm grey-beige background stands a precisely balanced cairn of eight stones, its soft shadow falling into the lower left corner. The painting is museum-quiet – a meditation in the colour of stone. Technique […]

Colour Diagonals – crossing strokes across the canvas A panorama of crossing diagonal stroke bundles – maroon-red, orange-gold, blue and black – sweeping edge to edge over a white-cream ground shaded grey at the upper right: a maroon-red bundle descends from the upper left toward the centre, a broad orange-gold […]

Blue and Sand – an architectural patchwork under coarse stucco An architectural patchwork of steel-blue and sand plaster rectangles under coarse stucco, scuffed with charcoal traces – a white block grounds the lower right: a dark steel-blue rectangle is upper left with a sooty seam along its base, and a […]

Colour Geometry – rounded and straight planes A hard-edge composition in the Bauhaus spirit – rounded and straight colour planes locking into one another like a poster: a navy block with rounded corners is upper left over a cream band, a dark aubergine bar beside a red stripe, and a […]

White Mosaic – sculptural tiles in white Rounded knife tiles in white, cream and pale grey tones, filling the canvas within a smooth flat border – a sculptural white mosaic: fist-sized rounded slabs are laid edge to edge, each with a raised lip that catches a shadow. Technique & Texture […]

Atmospheric Freshness – sea air on the wall Broad knife strokes of white and cream over grey-blue – sea air on the wall – with one navy knot and two rust-red accents: the cream-white impasto strokes command the right two thirds in long horizontal pulls with sharp, paper-clean edges. Technique […]

White Meditation – vertical rain by a dark anchor White and pale-grey vertical impasto strokes falling like rain or drawn curtains, anchored by one graphite pillar at the right edge, converging into a blue-grey base: across the full height run vertical knife pulls in white and silver-grey, raised ridges catching […]

Yellow Figure – a seated woman in colour planes A seated woman as one yellow silhouette among brown, terracotta and blue planes, with a white loop and a black wire line floating over all – in the spirit of Picasso: the yellow silhouette sits left of centre, its neck bending […]
