Magpie and Dali

The background pattern here is based on a Salvador Dali fabric design called "Spring Rain". I thought it made a nice environment for a magpie. Might stop them swooping on me and the dog every time we go into the garden during spring.

A self taught artist. I don't restrict myself in media and styles.I enjoy painting in oils, acrylics, gouache and watercolour. I have an affinity for capturing moments from places I have been lucky enough to travel to. Often developing paintings from plein air sketches I have done in the field. Whilst I enjoy contemporary realism and impressionism I will sometimes stray into the realm of pure abstraction. Convincing portrayals of light and colour are usually my main goals. Subject matter can range from the grand to the mundane and quirky.
