Yesterday I spent the morning with fellow artist James Aldridge walking along the river Avon at Coombe, near Enford for his Queer River project (see queerriver.com for more). James wanted to understand more about my painting practice; my interests in history, place and outer-body intuitive […]
I finished this 1.5m x 1m canvas earlier last year without intending to sell it, however it’s here for anyone who might be interested. It’s unframed. Painted from the top of Alton Barnes hill looking West towards Devizes. Contact me to discuss. JM
Well, it was wet but a lovely day painting again. Finished this little tree.JM I’ve spent a little time getting back into observational painting: just so that I don’t lose the knack! I’ve been doing some small water colour sketches around the village where my […]
I’ve spent a little time getting back into observational painting: just so that I don’t lose the knack! I’ve been doing some small water colour sketches around the village where my studio is; so I’ll post them on here. Contact me for info on any […]
I’m really pleased to have finished this 150 x 100 cm landscape. Acrylic and mixed media on canvas. Someone asked me, ‘How will you know when it’s finished’ and I guess the answer is always, ‘I don’t know, it just is’. Contact me for price […]
‘Landscape’ 2018, 120 x 100 cm. I’m feeling it. I’m letting myself go: I’m releasing myself from all forms of control.

A short weekend spent in our spiritual/bodily home: the Brecon Beacons, Wales. Although I was ill, I still managed to draw and extract from this magnificent place all the memories of previous visits. If my body is English (Wiltshire-ish), my heart is Welsh. 100 x […]
New, multi-layered painting on paper based on my walks around Roundway Hill near Devizes, Wiltshire. My process includes: painting a ‘base’ or ‘hidden’ landscape, covering with gesso, scratching and sanding back the gesso, layering melted wax, re-painting, peeling away wax and over-drawing. 71 x 50 […]
Probably one of the last times the view from Alton Barnes will be this clear before Autumn-proper settles in. 60 cm x 60 cm. acrylic on canvas.
The Pewsey Vale is a very special place and it has played an important part in almost all of my life. My family has a deep connection to this place: every lane, copse, field and hill elicits a memory, a story, or an emotion. Maybe its […]
Another scorching hot day today. Lovely to be out and up on the downs near home. This and other recent works will be available to view during the Marlborough Open Studios weekends in July. JM
