§ The full collection
The rest of the work.
The home page keeps to a handful of pieces. Here is everything else: the Route 62 villages and the harbours after rain, the surreal detours, and the portraits. Acrylic on canvas and watercolour on paper. Most are available as originals or prints.

The Road to Somewhere (Part One)
1000 × 750 mm · Canvas
Reimagining the R62. Sometimes on life's journey we reach a destination that brings joy, abundant fruit, colour, a beautiful house at the end of the road. The journey to Know Where is not over, but this is a good stopping point.

§ Surreal
Where the brush wanders off the map.
I start with what I see and what I hear. Then I paint, and the painting starts making its own decisions. Colours push harder, geometry tightens, and what was a real place becomes something that was always hiding inside it.
