A spot of curating

A few of my paintings (from BB (Before Beth!))  have found their way onto the walls of our beautiful new home.  These just felt so right for these locations and we think they look better than they have ever looked in their previous homes.

 These two paintings, featuring images from Epping Forest, England, sit well either side of the fireplace in our light-flooded lounge, which is awaiting the arrival of a sofa and chair.  The embroidered text beneath the painted image can be glimpsed as the light changes through the day.

This pair of paintings seemed an obvious choice for this spot behind our dining table.  The raised underpainting on these depicts a William Morris design, which can again be glimpsed as the light falls on the surface.

Much of my work, particularly the 'industrial East London landscape' period I had just prior to Beth just doesn't seem to fit our house in a mountain rainforest location.  This one, however, has sneaked onto a windowsill in the dark area of our basement at the back of the house and seems to be quite comfortable just as it is.

Then there are some mini paintings of decomposing fruit which have found a home in a little corner of our kitchen area.

Beth also now has her own little 'gallery' for her pictures/photos/things above her nature table/drawing space.  She is so proud of putting her drawings up on the string and talks about all the items on display.
