Moment of Creation - colourful abstract painting on canvas
Colourful abstract wall art - multicoloured abstract canvas
Size: 50 x 100 cm
Subject: Abstract
Colour: Multicoloured painting
Free UK delivery - contact me for overseas delivery options and prices
Original artwork description
This painting is a series of dynamic abstract paintings that have been inspired by my background as a scientist in the nuclear industry. This series of paintings can stand alone as a feature on a wall or can be combined with others in the series to form a collection.
The colours were chosen to carefully contrast but also complement each other and the painting technique I use means that several layers of paint are added sequentially to build up the depth of colour before finally applying the top coat and using skilled brush techniques to create the dynamic effect.

Another World - original black, white and gold abstract painting on canvas
Black, white and gold acrylic painting on box canvas
Textured surface effect with silver and gold metallic particles
Size: 36 x 24-inches
Subject: Abstract
Original artwork description
This painting was created using a bespoke blend of liquid polymer resin, plaster and acrylic paint inlaid with gold and silver particles. The gold particles form a dominant band across the centre of this unique abstract painting and the whole piece truly shines under the right lighting. A highly immersive abstract artwork. Rather than brushwork, this was created entirely with palette knives of varying shape and size, which provided the varying textures across the surface.
The inspiration for this painting came from seeing beech trees in our local wood - I was fascinated by the way the different shades of bark over-laid each other and gave the impression of other worlds. I could almost see blocks of buildings in the bark and this is what I have tried to convey in this unique abstract painting.
Listen - Original abstract wall art on canvas
Acrylic painting on stretched canvas
Textured surface effect with raised silver dots
Size: 100 x 150cm
Subject: Abstract
Original artwork description
This original abstract artwork was sold before the paint was dry! It was titled ‘Listen’ because the pattern very much reminded me of a soundwave and also, with a sense of reflection may make one stop and listen.
Created with blending techniques it also sparkles with the addition of speckles of raised metallic silver spots and dimples.
Heartbeat - Original abstract wall art on canvas
Acrylic painting on canvas
Size: 80 x 60cm
Subject: Abstract
Original artwork description
Another piece in my abstract series throughout early 2022, this one reminded me of a heart beat rhythm so the name was apt.
This abstract painting features stretched and blended brush strokes and is finished with metallic silver dots that form a raised surface texture.
Patronus - Original deer painting on canvas
Oil painting on canvas board - framed
Size: 22 x 18-inches
Subject: Wildlife

Oil painting on stretched canvas
Size: 24 x 36-inches

Original artwork description

Acrylic painting on stretched canvas
Size: 100 x 50 cm

Original artwork description

Red Abstract - Original abstract wall art on canvas
Acrylic painting on box canvas
Size:: 11 x 9-inches
Subject: Abstract
Original artwork description
This was one of my earliest abstract paintings and quickly reminded others of a war zone, with explosions and barbed wire fences. Perhaps it was my former interest in military matters that influenced this piece.
Europium - The Elements - Original abstract wall art on canvas
Acrylic painting on box canvas
Size: 16 x 12-inches
Subject: Abstract
Original artwork description
I set myself a long-term challenge of painting an abstract painting that was inspired and named after the periodic table of the chemical elements. Not all had the same style but all retained a blended bushwork effect.

Proton - Original abstract wall art on canvas
Acrylic painting on canvas
Size: 16 x 20-inches
Subject: Abstract
Original artwork description
Another piece in my abstract series of blended paintings with this one being sold with its sister ‘Collision’. I thought that both abstract paintings gave the impression of colliding stars or sub-atomic nuclei. Of course, that may just be the scientist in me!
Moonlit Forest - Original abstract wall art on canvas
Acrylic painting on box canvas
Size: 27 x 19cm
Subject: Abstract
Original artwork description
This was an experimental acrylic painting on cold-pressed paper, not the typical medium for acrylic. My aim was to create the illusion of a backlit forest so it could be argued this is not abstract but perhaps impressionism.

Subject: Floral
Original artwork description

Breathe - Original floral abstract wall art on canvas
Acrylic painting on box canvas
Size: 8 x 8-inches
Subject: Floral
Original artwork description
The poppy is typically associated with the remembrance of sacrifices made during armed conflict. Today, it seems we need to remember that we are all one race and share this tiny and fragile planet with each other. The background hints at the chaotic nature of our world, in the context of a pandemic and world-wide unrest and protests but the fairly uniform colour hints at the idea that beneath it all we are all the same.

Watercolour on paper
Size: A4 paper
