Fauna and Flora
I've been commissioned to paint various animals, whether owned as pets, or because the person liked a particular animal. These have varied from tigers, to dogs, a black panther and kingfisher. Some of these are depicted here.
I have also received a Special Recognition Category certificate for my painting of Henry, the spaniel, featured below. All paintings, including Henry can be viewed on YouTube - Animals exhibition June 2016 - www.lightspacetime.com.
The horses is a local scene over the Peak District, a mural painted in guache.
The Symbolism of the Rose shows scenes in each petal. Top left is the Arch-angel, Barachiel, a protector, usually depicted scattering rose petals. The top right is George and the Dragon, who is the symbol of the rose in Catalonia, Spain. Bottom left is the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary - symbolised with the Rosary. Bottom right is The Birth of Venus by Botticelli. Venus is shown strewn with rose petals as she arrives on her shell into Cyprus.
The Northern Lights is taken from a photo of the lights when they formed the image of a dragon. I have added a fictitious dragon in the bottom right and a seascape in which the lights are reflected. This has received a Special Recognition certificate on Light Space Time 10th Annual "Landscapes"online art exhibition, October 2020.
