The finished Clematis ‘Lincoln Star’ with fading flower and seedhead.

I am working on several studies at present and I was working on this clematis today, adding in a seedhead with some fading petals to complete the composition. The seedhead will be a challenge to paint! The clematis is called Lincoln Star.

This is a commission I have just completed for a friend. It is very similar to a painting I sold last May and was painted from sprigs of of willow collected a couple of weeks ago from the same tree as last year.

I heard today that I have had the study of Douglas Fir pictured below accepted for this exhibition which is held in Westminster Central Hall from 17-26 April.

Here is the finished version of the Swiss Meadow painting posted earlier last year.

A decaying winter horse chestnut leaf in graphite.

I have just finished painting this sprig of holly, just in time to use it as an image for some Christmas cards.

Here is another autumn painting, this time of hawthorn. The hawthorn was thick with berries this year which is usually the sign of a cold winter. Another painting is in progress of black bryony which was also abundant this year but winter is now almost upon us so I will turn to more wintery subjects soon.
