Desert Nightfall

Acrylic on canvas

Reflections are fun but difficult to paint  - definitely a test of intelligence.  The elephant would probably do better.

Time to Go Home

Acrylic on canvas

Acrylic painting from a photo with the kind permission of Ashit Parikh, on the flickr site.

I just loved the photo and it gave me a new colour palette to work on.

Coral Reef

If there is an afterlife, I want it to be swimming with the fish in tropical waters.

Coming Home

I received a commission out of the blue to do three paintings for an Army Officers’ Mess.  Afghanistan – with nothing military.  This was what I came up with.  It has bits of map grafted into the rocks and opium poppies in the foreground.  I gave it this title as the troops are coming home this year.  They loved it.

Rue de la Kasba

This was inspired by a photo I took from the top of a bus in Marrakech.  I had fun with the textures and the Arabic writing.

Kerala fishing boats

Minarets

Anyone at Home?

Lots of texture in this one.  I love dereliction!

Kasbah door

More fun with textures!
