This is a small selection of paintings that I have made - picked at random from my folder of photos. Some have been sold, others are in my collection. I hope you enjoy looking at them.

Salisbury Area - We live within 10 miles of Stonehenge, one of the oldest monuments in the world. The lay lines make my hair stand on end and the base of my skull tingle. Salisbury is a really pretty city, and th travellers are regularly on the corner as I pass to take the kids to school. When they leave all that is left are circles of horse-clipped grass and fire ash.

USA - the Land of the free, good friends, and wonderful food. I have been there a few times, and each visit has been worth remembering.

Arniston, Cape, South Africa - a fishing town with great beauty and interesting history. Well worth a visit.

Vignettes of Egypt - In 2005 I was treated to an all-singing, all-dancing tour to Egypt. We got to see what we wanted to see. I was struck by the contrasts, how the modern live off the ancient world and despise tourists, the very people who provide their income. There were also people who had a dignity and self-respect, and who treated those around them with the same. Those are the people who made it special.
