Oil Painter

Inspired by light, colours and nature, I paint the quiet beauty of fleeting moments in the everyday life.

There are so many spring flowers I love, and daffodils are certainly among them.

I was worried I might not be able to paint them this year due to the awful weather conditions we’ve had, but I managed to capture their dancing beauty in the sunshine a few days ago.

Now it’s another rainy and grey day, but this painting helps me see the bright side of things.

Happy Sunday to all of you, and Happy Mother’s Day here in the UK. 🌼

Prayer Plant Enjoying the Sunshine

Prayer Plant (Maranta Leuconeura Erythroneura) kissed by this month’s rare sunshine.

I have never seen so much life in an indoor plant.

This beautiful new arrival — Maranta Leuconeura Erythroneura — was given to us as a thank-you present from our neighbours, and I have completely fallen in love with it.

Its leaves carry an incredible display of colours, and apparently it can even produce small flowers during the growing season. But the most fascinating thing for me is its movement.

During the day the leaves lie open and flat, quietly catching the light. At night they fold upwards, as if in prayer for evening vespers — which is how it earned its common name: the Prayer Plant.

I painted this on a dull day when very little light was coming through the window, so I focused as much as possible on colour and texture to suggest movement and depth.

Swipe to see some details — and a little glimpse of the plant in motion, caught on camera.

Sometimes the subject lends itself to become a bigger picture.

Whenever you’re at sea, a sunset is always an exciting moment — the last light of the day slowly fading into an array of magical colours.

A quiet way to set your mind at rest, your eyes drawn to the brightness as it disappears on the horizon.

This painting grew from a small study I made on paper not long ago. It captures the sunset I watched last year as the ferry left Dunkerque for Dover.

It’s the quiet rurality of this place — the kind that calls you back and brings a sense of peace wherever you look.

This is a view I always admire when I walk through Ystradfawr Nature Reserve. From this panoramic point, the Welsh hills work their magic with spectacular colours and ever-changing light. This time, the scene was made even more compelling by the sheep grazing in front of me. So beautiful, gentle and intelligent they are — yet most of us fail to see it.

The beauty lies in the land, the sky, the water and the animals, and we should always protect and celebrate it through our actions and our values.
