Great to see a happy customer and the even more happy couple who received the gift of my "Bamburgh Castle No. 1" painting depicting where they were engaged.

Is this an improvement?
Further work on ‘Bluebell Woodland Path’. Fixed the wonky tree by giving it a sibling, added more rock features and had a go at a deer.

Welcome to December 2025. Time to start painting Christmas cards. Maybe left it a bit late 😟#Christmas #painting #art

I presume on review they will rescind their ban? I thought I’d take this opportunity to promote my wife’s booklet she wrote called ‘Walking in Grief with the Celtic Saints’ from her pilgrimage after Ben died. St Cuthbert’s Cave, Lindisfarne and Gandalf all appear. If you want a copy DM me. #NationalTrust #StCuthbert #Grief #hiking #NorthEast #Northumberland #Faith

We will make our annual pilgrimage to the RN Cemetery on Portland tomorrow (14th Nov) visiting the grave and remembering our son Ben whom died aged 26 in the harbour on that day in 2018. We will also head to Portsmouth as we have a tribute on the Heart of Oak memorial https://t.co/n2uVl98GEq #RoyalMarine #RM #Bootneck #RemembranceDay

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Laurence Binyon

We also place a wreath on Ben’s Bench at this time in Southampton Sports Centre where he used to train when home from duty. It’s a peaceful place where you often see Buzzards flying overhead. We shall meet again.

We laid a wreath on the memorial in RM Hamworthy yesterday to remember our son Ben who died serving his country in 2018. My wife found the Elisabeth Elliot quote helpful:
“There is nothing worth living for, unless it is worth dying for.”

It’s coming to that time of year again. My wife and I are finding it particularly hard this year. Our youngest lost his career as a professional footballer on Oct 31st and two weeks later Nov 14th our middle son lost his life in a military diving training accident. We will never forget you Ben.

I love painting en plein air. This painting was inspired by a previous en plain air artwork that led to this commission. A local nature reserve 'Testwood Lakes 2' North West of Southampton worth visiting.

Some of my and others faith based art in our prayer room. It’s a peaceful place to sit and meditate on some of the more important things in life and death and what’s next.
