Summertime on the Allotments

Summer is here and I have been painting 'plein air' on the allotments. The sun comes around during the day and by the afternoon everything is back lit. Dimensions 20"X17"

Magnolia Blossoms

Magnolia Blossoms in Sheffield Botanical Gardens. Painted on location a few years ago; the little girl really did wander into the scene and stand there in front of a bird. Carpe Diem.

Dwight D Eisenhower

Dwight D Eisenhower...that is the name of the engine I painted yesterday in the York railway museum. The cleaners were out with long brooms, keeping the polish up to standard on this noble Loco. I counted the wheels and I got them all in,...now where did I leave my anorak ?

The Cut away Engine

I had a day painting in the York Railway Museum this week. The dramatic view of the cut away engine caught my attention. One can see the whole of the workings of a steam train....fascinating. Size 24"X18", price £450.00

The Wakefield Canal

A view of The Wakefield Canal in Wakefield, sketched on the spot and painted back in the studio dimensions 22"X18" Price £500.00

Still Life

I have been going back to basics, still life is always a rewarding subject. This collection of fruit was painted in my kitchen. Size 10" square, (price £100)

Art in the Park

I was doing an open air art event the other weekend on a cold, dull day. I determined to get something out of the day, which was set in a local park and painted the scene directly outside my tent. I sold one card for a pound, which went towards a hot cup of tea to warm my hands. The girl in the foreground was watching a friend draw a portrait of her sister (visit www.bingjones.co.uk) Realising I had painted her, she asked quite openly whether the painting would now go in a museum...I wish !
