My portfolio of oil paintings currently available to purchase
Size, subject and composition are all important factors in creating a piece of art. But equally important, and less talked about, are the materials used from the ground up. These are the components that decide the longevity of a painting.
Over the last decade, I’ve invested a lot of time and effort in making sure that all of my materials are of the highest quality. I paint on wooden panels instead of canvas, it’s more durable and long-lasting. The oil paint, mediums and varnishes are all made by Gamblin. One of the world’s leading brands, creating paint with usability and longevity as a priority, without compromise on ethics.
All of my oil paintings are varnished, this protects the surface from dust, dirt and debris. There’s always a sticker on the back showing the date of varnishing, so you’ll know when it’s time to get your painting professionally cleaned. The final touch is the frame, hand-built with a gilded inlay, designed exclusively for my work by my framers The Framing Lot. A frame enhances and extends the artwork, it shouldn’t detract or distract. It’s not immediately noticeable, but you notice immediately if it isn’t there.
All of this comes together to create paintings with permanence. Every artwork here will last more than a lifetime.

Some of the artworks here are in galleries, and others are available directly from my studio. If you would like to know more about a particular painting, please contact me and I’ll be happy to tell you where it’s currently on display. I can also arrange private viewings for any pieces not in a gallery.
