I am not sure you can beat the view from Pen yr Ole Wen but now to paint it!

A great afternoon in the studio as wet and wild outside!

Ogwen Valley in the sunshine!

Finally Ogwen has turned green again after being scorched through this very hot summer.

A dream for climbers, botanists, conservationists, walkers and geologists, Ogwen valley is such a beautiful place both in the sunshine, rain and snow.

I am embracing these Autumn days in the studio, trying to get out painting when it is dry and planning work for the future.

Its definately Autumn, the swallows have now gone!

Cadair Idris from mindfordd path.

I love North Wales, this painting has taken a while and although I still have a few details to add its nearly there. Lots of research goes into my paintings. There is always a story or a journey to get there. I love the process and would love to share this with everyone so...

I have started my very own you tube channel to show everyone the process of creating my work in more depth and to take you the viewer on my adventures too. More information to follow...

Landscape painting for me has to capture a place, its soul, moments in time unlike a photograph.

Although I use photographs in my work, I also work from drawings, multiple visits to a location, memories and a tiny amount of imagination.

I am often asked wherher I can paint in a photrealistoc way. Yes I can but choose not to. Its taken a long time to find my style, i think i am getting there (30 years so far).

This painting depicts some of the exquisite rock formations found on the Glyderau Mountain range in Snowdonia / Eryri.

All recent paintings should be available through my website now or please dm me for more information.

Just me and my trusty crocs looking for my dream crag! #climbing #northernfrance #brittany #crocks

Always busy! After a few weeks of staring at blank canvases which seemed overwhelming i have finally got going again in a rather obsessive way.

Going into the post Hockney era felt a bit empty, most of the artists that inspired me when I was art school have gone, having lost several friends in the last year has been hard. The art world seems less excited in a way with the passing of this incredibly talented and inventive individual and the AI generated stuff. But i have always stuck to my guns.

Really nice to chat to other artists who battle for inspiration at times too. Mine always resolves eventually usually by reconnecting with nature, a wild camp, a dip in our incredible ocean or a sunset hike that just feels more exciting than the last.

Then i am ready to paint again....and

when i paint , i paint i mean i really paint! Before this i visited some rather lovely exhibitions and was fortunate to be invited as a judge at this years international pensychnant art exhibition! Go see it if you can there is some brilliant work on display.

And remember my atudios always open by appointment dm for details

Cwm Cynfal, Oil on canvas

In Snowdonia, there is a Cwm which provides escape from the modern world. One of the last remaining temperate rainforrests in the UK. A home to rare mosses, lichens, liverworts and birds.

A magical place where the water has carved out beautiful cauldron like shapes into rock faces after a storm. Although I have not experienced this after a storm I would imagine it is quite noisy when the river charges through this narrow cwm to the valley bellow.

The water has a peat like appearancd the dark reddy / brown but clear. The sunlight finds its way through canopy above in places highlighting and strengthening colours.

I enjoyed painting here. Prints are also availiable of the majority of mh paintings.

Please just message directly or comment below if you have any questions.

Have we seen the last of the snow for another year?

The day I stood on top of the mountain was cold, really cold. There was no one around, no footprints, tracks and paths covered, behind me the cloud rolled in, however for just a few minutes I enjoyed this view before I was engulfed with a whiteout. I knew it was time to descend!

Who else has experienced mountains in these winter conditions? Its really special isn't it!

The last working slate quarry south of Blaenau Festinniog.. Foel Grochan os one of those places. Now closed understandably due to its popularity and dangerous nature.

The light in there is amazing. Nature is slowly reclaiming this industrial past. For me it involved a seven hour trip years ago recording some of its beauty and detail involving ladders, aerial walkways and pits the size of four cathedrals. There is a brilliant book by Jon Knowles on the quarry for those interested it its history.

This particular sketch i tried to catch the unusual light created from the vertical shaft above.

The view from Y Garn on a really windy day! Painted from memory.

Oil on board

The visibility was brilliant and you could see all the way through Ogwen Valley with Tryfan in the distance.

Looking forwards to more adventures next week and painting outside as the weather improves and hands don't freeze in the elements!

The view of Yr Wyddfa / Snowdon is special but fewer people have seen it from Lliwedd.

That day we needed full winter kit. The weather turned for the worse throughout the say til it reached full blizzard conditons making descent treacherous. Before this however the sun shone just for a few seconds on Yr Wyddfa.

I hope you like it. ⛰️🎨👩‍🎨

New shop on website coming soon.

Finished this one at last! This will feature in my museum solo show soon (details to follow).

I thought Spring was here but woke to snow capped mountains this morning. Snowy scenes have always been something i have found difficult to paint. Not only because painting from life is a massive challenge because conditions can be harsh, but from the point , some colours are really hard to mix or even obtain.

This was Inspired by Akseli Gallen-Kallela who painted Lake Keitele which is hung in the Impressionist section @nationalgallery. I used to stand in front of this painting on school trips. It just used to glow in front of me. The light is superb. I have always wondered or aspired to paint like this and to obtain that glow in my work.

The last painting on the easel for next months exhibition at Penyscyhnant. Cannot wait to share framed paintings with you all.

I have always been captivated by reflections. Not far from the binocular caves in Eryri there is a beautiful swamp, if you catch it at the right time of day the sunshine illuminates the quarry and casts beautiful reflections of the trees across the water.

I will announce more about the exhibition next week.

Another forrest painting started on the easel! 🎨

Where do you go to escape? This is one of my favourite places. I love sitting by waterfalls especially in the mountains!

Now for coffee!

I have painted very few forrests but after visiting Cwm Cynfal in Snowdonia a few weeks ago I realise that I have totally fallen for this beautiful temperate rainforest.

I spent hours there on my own phorographing and recording its beauty. The birds sang, the river roared through the gorge falling from pool to pool. The place reminded me of my childhood in Devon swimming in the river dart on Dartmoor.

This place is far more remote. I never saw a soul. I find it really sad that it is underthreat from a proposed hydro scheme.

This painting is the first of many of Cwm Cynfall and will be exhibited at Penyscyhnant Conservation Centre in April and May.

I am delighted to be exhibiting there!

Now back to painting!

More rock formations on the Glyders!

Castell y Gwynt or Castle of the winds is the only Welsh 3000ft mountain to be classed as a Nuttall. Its beautiful both in the summer and in winter conditions. Good navigation skills are needed in bad visibility.

Its always windy up there. I have been lucky enough to have been up there many times jver the last four years.

A bit of a scramble to stand on the top though! 🧗‍♂️

Rock Formations on Glyderau, oil on canvas.

---‐----‐----------------------------------------------------

Glyder Fawr in Eryri / Snowdonia has some beautiful rock formations. It involves a bit of scrambling or a steep walk to get there.

It is one of many rock formations forming the Glyderau Mountain Range. Many people visit this every year to visit this moonscape.

After Snowdon / Yr Wyddfa and Tryfan, it is probably the next most popular place for walking. The views are amazing on a clear day!

I have been lucky to experience it in beautiful sunshine, fog, rain, and whiteout conditions.

I am pleased to offer walks as a qualified mountain leader throughout the Spring / Summer and Autumn in 2026.
