Quiet day
Quiet Day , a watercolour that i did for a collection that i showed in Trinidad , this piece is of the old boats ,drawn up on a beach its a lazy day .....as the two fishermen in the distance relax in the shadows of the hut , the colours of this piece are vivid and are transparent , great fun doing this piece with the grape trees and the gentle surf on the sands .......also available ....
vista
Vista ... a watercolour .. 6 inches , circular , i had fun doing this one, as i painted it, it was one i really wanted to keep however it sold, about two weeks ago , i loved working within the miniature style, as it is a miniature , if blown up to a large size it will stand on its own with other paintings i have produced that are large, this is due to the detail it has in it .... enjoy this piece .....

solitude
Solitude .... sepia watercolour ... a series of 5 ...6x7 inch pieces , this piece is one that shows the art of true sepia, in the medium of watercolour opposed to the thickness of acrylic , watercolour tends to be easy to work with in this form, transparent in some areas ,and fresh in colours unlike acrylics, that tend to be dull in sepia medium , many artist use glosses or finishes afterwards to highlight their sepia pieces ,.....with watercolours nothing can be used to highlight a work other than the use of properly using the colours to give the effect thats needed , this piece is available
