Studio Still Life
I’ve been busy recently with my ‘other’ (paid) work at The Pound arts centre in Corsham; A new job with new responsibilities and a different focus to what I’ve been used to. I’m setting that up as an excuse for the lack of painting that […]
Recently Sold
I keep forgetting to list all my paintings for sale on here. Most often I’m publishing to my Instagram page (@durfun) and forgetting to add them here. Here are a couple of most recent paintings sold.
From Huish Hill, June 2021
Here’s a small painting (oil on paper) looking across the Pewsey Vale from Huish towards Oare. Lots of memories for me in this place.
Apples and Cornish Pottery
Back after a short break with a small 10’’ x 8’’ oil on board. Not sure why I was so reluctant to start painting again. Probably lockdown: got me beat down. I got my hopes up for some bright light inspiration and I realised I […]

There are aspects of this sketch that I like, but other parts unresolved or over-painted. It’s all a learning process and that’s all I’m doing. Sharing the learning.
Small woven basket
Freezing cold but still managed to do a daily oil sketch. I’m enjoying this!
Sheep skull
It’s freezing in the studio today. We’re waiting for logs to be delivered for the wood burner so I’ve resorted to biting scrap frames abs what-not. Just about warm enough to paint this oil sketch of a sheep’s skull. Some of it is not quite […]
