we've been framing

24 January 2018

David and I have added frames to a number of my abstract landscape pieces painted on wood and canvas board. These are hidden frames, situated behind the painting, so they float 2cm away from the wall. The framing is simple, allowing the sides of the painting to be seen, and giving a sleek, uncluttered look.

Here are 4 of the recently framed pieces...

Here's a deceptively simple painting delivers maximum impact for minimal effort — a wet-in-wet background and a limited palette do most of the work, while the result glows with light and looks far m...

summer flowers & an old fence post

16 June 2026

There's something irresistibly paintable about a weathered fence post half-swallowed by summer wildflowers. It's the contrast that does it — rough, sun-bleached wood against the soft, fleeting delic...
