Ride the High Country (2006) – for sale £300 (Oil on board, 15.5" x 19") No, it's not John Wayne, but Joel McCrea with Randolph Scott beyond, taken from the movie of the same name. Note the two sources of studio lighting for this supposed outdoor shot! Great atmosphere though. |
 |
Keira Knightley as Guinevere (2007) – for sale £350 (Pastel/Oil on board, 18" x 14") Okay, it was dreadful movie with Clive Owen doing a great impersonation of a plank of wood, but every now and then Keira struck a good pose... This work is finished with pastels over oil under-painting, which led to some interesting textured effects. |
 |
Keira, actually (2007) – for sale £300 (Oil on board, 13.5" x 7") Love, Actually I thought was a thoroughly more successful movie (though some would say that's not saying very much!), and although Keira's character was a bit irritating she did look great in that hat. This is from the scene were she's watching the wedding video shot by her husband's best mate - who is obsessed with Keira, unlike me who is just an artist unable to afford a proper live model... |
 |
Pastels, actually (2007) – for sale £80 (Pastels on paper, 5.5" x 7.5") Okay, it's another shot from the same scene as above, this time in pastels on paper, and showing more of that hat. |
 |
'Jane Eyre' (2007) – for sale £400 (Oil on paper on board, 15" x 11.5") This is Charlotte Gainsbourg (and quite obviously not Keira, everyone!) brilliantly cast in Zeffirelli's 1996 movie version of Jane Eyre. Truly a guiding light in the dark for William Hurt's Rochester. |
 |
Shooting Fish - Kate Beckinsale (2007/8) – for sale £120 (Oil on paper on board, 9" x 7" approx. - unframed) This is our Katie doing an interview about the wonderful movie Shooting Fish – delightfully English (okay, she a quarter Thai, apparently), and before she got bitten by Hollywood vampirism... I wanted to paint a smile for a change, and Kate's got an easier smile to paint than Keira... |
 |
Homage to Paul Cezanne (2006) – sold (Pastels on paper on board, 12" x 9" approx.) Cezanne's original of Montagne Sainte Victoire is oil on canvas, but I wanted to try out my new pastels and see how close I could get to the original because it's just such a fab thing to have on a wall. Well the owners thinks so, thankfully. |
 |
Homage to Grace Cossington-Smith (2006/8) – for sale £250 (Oil on canvas, 20" x 34" approx. - unframed) I came across this picture on the web somewhere – can't remember where or why, but just loved it. I don't know its original medium, though I doubt if it were oils like mine. Grace is probably not well-known outside Australia, but certainly deserves to be. I've made a few alterations from the original but hopefully it still communicates some of the other-worldly whimsy of the original. |
 |
Homage to Paul Klee (2006) – for sale £120 (Pastels on paper, 15" x 17") With a change of background colour this is a representation of a Klee masterpiece – though mine is in pastels (don't know what his was in). |
 |
Detail of Pissarro (2006) – not for sale (Oil on paper on board, 8.5" x 13") I can't even remember from which Pissarro this is from, it's not the whole picture certainly. Here I've created a reasonable impressionist feel, though very obviously not Pissarro's technique, which I've still yet to fathom. |
 |
A Mir pastel (2006) – for sale £120 (Pastel on paper, 11" x 15") Dappled Spanish scene in pastel on dark paper. |
 |
Frank Sinatra jacket (2006) (Paper on cloth, 36" chest) Hundreds of pictures of 'Ole Blue Eyes' lovingly stuck on a real, wearable suit jacket, with cellophane laminate skin - okay it's cellotape but does the job. Has to be be seen to be believed (how daft I was to create this for just one night out!) |
