Plein Air Oil Paintings

I love venturing out into the fells to visit remote sites and put brush to canvas. It's lovely to feel the comings and goings of the day, of wildlife, walkers and climbers. I particularly enjoy painting sites that have a deeper connection with the past, the old mining entrances, dams and gunpowder houses; and the stone walls, shepherd huts and sheep-pens. 

Come along to my studio at The Makers Mill in Keswick to have a look at my prints for sale.
