A flowing, expressionist garden scene created using spraying and flicking techinques.....rare for me!

A decorative abstract circular work inspired by art nouveau, planets, mandalas, cultures growing in a petri dish and so on.

Expressionist landscape with blues and oranges (one of my favourite colour combinations) created using pouring, flicking and spattering techniques.

A piece featuring 64 circles, inspired by Kandinsky and the title from a Stevie Wonder album.

A wintery scene inspired partly by the work of the late Thomas Kinkade

Intrepid sheep character painted as a commission for a customer in Minneapolis, USA. Lots of Art Nouveau Klimtery inspired opulence here!

A lush, fantasy landscape based on various locations in the UK.

Wee Art Nouveau treescape inspired by the work of Klimt and Zecchin.

While I was painting this decorative orchard scene, I was suddenly reminded of those Ishihara 'pseudoisochromatic' tests they used to do at school to test for colour blindness, hence the name.

Moody seascape inspired by Art Nouveau decoration and a love of the coast.

The beginning of a new series of coastal based pieces for 2016. Being pretty much as far away from the sea as you can get in England, this piece represents my love of the coast and my rare visits there, coupled with my love of decorative, Art Nouveau based work.

Another painting that sold in 2011. Yet more trees inspired by Klimt and other decorative artists such as Zecchin, Beardlsey and, to some degree, by children's book illustrator, the mighty Maurice Sendak, one of my all time favourite artists.

A fun Art Nouveau style repeat pattern based on a peacock’s tail feather.

Everyone has a London painting in them, and this is mine. I love the London scenes painted by Andre Derain, so this was my little 'Fauvist' nod to him.

A fun repeat pattern of colourful eggs influence by Art Nouveau and the decorative eggs of Faberge

This is an original acrylic painting measuring 24 x 16 inches that I sold in 2011. I became slightly obsessed with Gustav Klimt's frieze designs for The Palais Stoclet in Brussels after seeing some of his other work at The Tate Liverpool back in 2009. I particularly like the central image, the Tree of Life, so decided to do something influenced by that. Trees are also a bit of an obsession for me! I called it Zebedee Tree because, for some reason, it reminds me of The Magic Roundabout.

I was greatly inspired by the amazing work of the late Rex Ray, and this is my tribute to him and a new digital direction in my own work.
