 | "Morning Light"Using soft pastel to capture the brilliant morning light as it comes through the window, framing the woman as she sits on the edge of the bed in her nightdress. Normally I avoid using any kind of fixative as it darkens the colours, but in this case I had to use a layered technique and so used fixative to seal the initial painting of the figure, before painting the night dress. Soft pastels on textured coloured pastel paper (20 cm x 20 cm) |
"Giant Panda Feeding"I saw this giant panda eating bamboo during my visit to the Chengdu Panda Research Centre in October 2007. Soft pastels on textured coloured pastel paper (20 cm x 20 cm) |  |
| "Fusilier A S Metson, 1st Battalion Royal Irish Fusiliers"The battle insignia on Fusilier Metson's shirt denotes that the 1RIF were part of the 78th "Battle Axe" Division and the shamrock, was worn by the 3 battalions that formed the 38th "Irish" Brigade. Fusilier Metson saw action in Italy (where the original photograph was taken). He is wearing the Scottish "bonnet drab" which the RIF adopted as a caubeen during the later stages of the Italian campaign. This portrait was taken from an original photograph given to me by his son. Soft pastels on textured coloured pastel paper (17 cm x 22 cm) |
"Officer of the London Irish Rifles"Shown in full rifle green dress uniform and caubeen, the officer wears the "Order of St Patrick" blue feather hackle.
