VAL D'ORCIA TUSCANY: THE CYPRESSES Oil on box canvas 110cm x 41cm It is said that the tradition for planting cypresses goes back hundreds of years, when they planted a tree for every soldier killed in war. These beautiful sentinels are unique and graceful and are found all over Italy, but this particular row are world famous. Seen in the film 'Gladiator', they have become one of the most iconic images in Tuscany. This was painted at the wonderful point where an angry, Prussian blue sky met the vivid yellow of the cornfields, just before the storm. £890 framed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1657643418443-LBW76GOFGQWLAQJVI17B/6.+Mousehole+Misty+Twilight.++61cm+x+46cm+Oil+on+Box+Canvas.JPG WORK - 6.

IN SEARCH OF SQUID Oil on board 33cm x 22cm Part of the same series… I missed them on the first night. I thought they'd go out just before sunrise. I was wrong. They go out many hours before, when the night is an impenetrable indigo. It's not a peaceful scene - the roar of a single tractor, the intensity and seriousness of the night's work ahead makes everyone purposeful. The spotlight is focused solely on the pushing out of the boats, and it's a slick operation to watch. Then suddenly, it's all over. Silently the little boats glide out towards the fishing grounds. The tractor driver goes home. The only evidence of any activity are the tractor tyre marks carving up the golden sand. The tide comes in and then there is no trace left to see… £550 framed SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1657643938191-KQISB2HNRQLW83ZBMC3Z/38.+Symi%2C+Greece.+51cm+x+40cm+Oil+on+Board.JPG WORK - 38.

A SMALL HERD OF GREYFACE DARTMOOR SHEEP IN A MISTY EARLY DAWN Oil on board 100 cm x 50cm A great friend of mine breeds these absolutely gorgeous rare breed sheep. They have lovely gentle personalities and the most beautiful soft, curly coats. The Cheshire landscape with the rolling hills has the most beautiful skies, and it's not uncommon to have early morning mist with the sun just coming through the bare branches of the trees. £1390 framed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1657664639891-NAXGE4O8YLGDQV1KLZA3/21.+Edge+of+the+land+at+Zennor%2C+Cornwall.+40cm+x+22cm+Oil+on+Board.JPG WORK - 21.

TOP ARDENSTUR ESTATE COTTAGE Framed, Oil on canvas board. 71cm x 54cm The snow on the mountains in the far distance is not unusual but the snow near Loch Melfort is rare.

MAWGAN PORTH: A SUNSET Mixed media on board 61cm x 30cm Mostly painted in oil, but with copper leaf and gold added, as well as the DNA of the beach in the foreground, it has made for a vibrant and imaginative setting of the sun, just before the green flash! £550 framed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1657643808320-XL2AETY87G80ZGZS6PFH/30.+Kinder+Scout.+A+Spring+Day.++91cm+x+61cm+Mixed+Media+on+Board.JPG WORK - 30. KINDER SCOUT ON A WILD SPRING DAY Mixed media on board. 91cm x 61cm Oil and cold wax combine texture and vibrancy of colour With layers of paint and glazes to form a different aspect of the same view but a different time of year altogether. The brooding windswept grey green of the hawthorn is transformed into a foaming, creamy blossom. 'Ne'er cast a clout before the May be out'! is a wonderful Northern saying - I believe the clout refers to a woollen jumper…. So don't take it off until the May flowers! £700 unframed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1657643819075-31CIJU39HPYFLHNG7XTU/31.+Wincle+Snow+and+Shadows+Cheshire.++76cm+x+51cm+Oil+on+Box+Canvas.JPG WORK - 31.

THE SUN GOES DOWN ON THE VINES IN BURGUNDY Oil on board. 91cm x 61cm This was painted just before the vendage (grape picking) and is the busiest time of year in this peaceful valley. The vignerons patrol the endless rows of vines, testing the grapes for their ripeness and readiness for picking. If you look closely, you can see the bunches of grapes, bursting with juice, nestling under the leaves, which are turning the most magnificent colours of magenta, cadmium red, raw sienna, alizarin crimson and yellow ochre. An artists delight. £1490 framed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1657643880599-0S2WO9YVVZ063TSYA9A9/35.+San+Quirico+d%27Orcia+Chapel+Vitaleta+Tuscany.+77cm+x+60cm+Oil+on+Box+Canvas+Framed.JPG WORK - 35.

Reached by a very narrow road bordered by the legendary Cornish banks consisting of solid granite disguised with age old mosses and wild flowers, topped with the vivid yellow gorse… many an unwary traveller has been caught out! Approach with caution! This is not a picture of that…?! This wonderful spot can be found at the end of said road. In summer there is a wonderful trailer in the National Trust car park set up with the best pasties in Cornwall - not to mention clotted cream scones. It wasn't there on this day sadly - this was a late autumn day with squalls and cloudy skies. Perfect weather for me! £290 unframed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1657643908881-OO9IUZ189OGJZ06HJU45/36.+Venice+Santa+Maria+della+Salute+at+Night.++50cm+x+40cm+Oil+on+Box+Canvas+Framed.JPG WORK - 36.

Just round the corner is Harry's Bar, home of the iconic Bellini cocktails! (Daisy as a toddler, accidentally knocked mine over a very snooty lady with a pile of Louis Vuitton luggage surrounding her! The waiters couldn't have cared less about the Louis Vuitton, they were busy replacing my Bellini! Great priorities)! After the drama, we had a trip round in the gondola… the slapping of the water under the hull, the peace only interrupted by the cries of warning from the gondolier as we negotiated a blind bend in the canals will stay in my memory forever. £290 framed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1657643923362-LHUCVGY6VTTETUF912RX/37.+Cephalu+Sicily.++40cm+x+40cm+Oil+on+Box+Canvas.JPG WORK - 37.

LIGHT ON THE WATER: CAPE CORNWALL Oil on paper 42cm x 30cm Down at the furthest tip of Cornwall at St Just, this sea study was the beginning of my love affair with abstraction and the sea. The splatter effects really conveyed the movement and constant motion of a lively, not stormy sea. Later that afternoon it absolutely poured down and thanks to my wonderful clear cagoule (long since gone to the wardrobe in the sky) I was able to stay and capture the turbulent weather. £290 unframed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1657643681421-G5AUKGZBLU9CPBC785PG/22.+A+Cornish+Gate+near+Lands+End.+35cm+x+24cm+Oil+on+Board.JPG WORK - 22. A CORNISH GATE Oil on board 35cm x 24cm I found this gate just beyond St Buryan, down a tiny lane. Beware of the green Cornish banks…lurking to trap the unwary! Unforgiving granite hosting beautiful wild flowers and topped with gorse, and here a beautiful rusting Cornish gate, with a long history of being leaned on by boisterous cattle waiting to be collected for the evening milking… £400 framed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1657644000183-3N47CBRSI2B7QKRMWGE6/42.+Still+life+with+Lemons.+42cm+x+30cm+Oil+on+Paper.JPG WORK - 42.

ACROSS TO HELFORD PASSAGE FROM GYLLINGVASE, FALMOUTH Oil on board 76cm x 50cm Another flash of temper from the stunning stormy weather. Quick to forgive, the sun stabs through the inky clouds, just kissing the coastline at the entrance to the glorious Helford river. A rare sight without the tankers which so often can be seen moored up in Falmouth bay, waiting for the oil prices to drop before they nip in to fill up on fuel! Apparently it's a fine balance against the thousands of pounds it costs to moor there against the price of oil! £850 framed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1693425548127-D7HAA1ZXD8DKQWULJN9N/image-asset.jpeg WORK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1693426335960-D3D3WDZWVYW9S2LBLYIV/image-asset.jpeg WORK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1693426424182-7EF53HP4P4B0SF5NM9JC/image-asset.jpeg WORK https://www.valallenartist.com/about daily 0.75 2023-08-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1481449381543-AWTG5C4VV35Y3E5LHYKB/image-asset.jpeg ABOUT ME https://www.valallenartist.com/contact-wexley daily 0.75 2023-08-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1657643655583-0OSE4FLQHUVCYRHC74M1/20.+Outer+Hebridean+Beach.+Oil+on+Board+91cm+x+91cm.JPG CONTACT - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.valallenartist.com/buy-now daily 0.75 2023-08-10 https://www.valallenartist.com/buy-now/mf29h2k86ljxk2r4cy89tkndmtprdm monthly 0.5 2019-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1570033078473-6LBVTZ32ELQX68T30355/Gyllingvase%2BBeach%2BCornwall_MG_5994.jpg BUY NOW - 'Storm Over Helford Passage' https://www.valallenartist.com/buy-now/sailing-up-loch-melfort monthly 0.5 2019-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1570104228894-OSAWEPKCL8WYMLMNYY1Q/fullsizeoutput_2093.jpeg BUY NOW - 'Sailing up Loch Melfort' https://www.valallenartist.com/buy-now/twilight-reflections monthly 0.5 2019-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1570104325679-XDACWJYJJTKWZTPLE9FM/IMG_3559.JPG BUY NOW - 'Twilight Reflections' https://www.valallenartist.com/buy-now/venice-at-dawn monthly 0.5 2023-08-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1570104434439-ZCO8UJL6IIGQTMIUHDK7/fullsizeoutput_2091.jpeg BUY NOW - 'Venice at Dawn' https://www.valallenartist.com/buy-now/peaceful-decay monthly 0.5 2019-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1570104606627-JJHJLOODFMR2DC3JCL6O/fullsizeoutput_2090.jpeg BUY NOW - 'Peaceful Decay' https://www.valallenartist.com/buy-now/misty-dungeness monthly 0.5 2019-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1570104798794-VOBV5LWEDFZUS4IWF0L9/fullsizeoutput_208e.jpeg BUY NOW - 'Misty Dungeness' https://www.valallenartist.com/buy-now/mousehole-at-dawn monthly 0.5 2019-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1570105074577-FSGC331S5XVUN2Q1UQEO/fullsizeoutput_208d.jpeg BUY NOW - 'Mousehole at Dawn' https://www.valallenartist.com/buy-now/mousehole-at-dawn-pt-2 monthly 0.5 2019-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1570105226513-EPRXQL08G6Z4HWVYE1OI/fullsizeoutput_208b.jpeg BUY NOW - 'Mousehole Harbour at Low Tide' https://www.valallenartist.com/buy-now/sennen-cove monthly 0.5 2022-07-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5831a02b6b8f5bca57390b71/1570105384232-ADR5I2M8D5OBEOWMW4S3/fullsizeoutput_1078.jpeg BUY NOW - A beach.
