Kinder Scout (Dad's final resting place).

We scattered Dad's ashes on the stunning hills of Kinder Scout, above Manchester.
When we'd finished, a blizzard swept through and left us a little concerned for our safety, what with high winds, sleet, rain and a hike back down to the pub to contend with.
Beautiful day though!

4'x3' Acrylic on canvas.

Dumpstertape#1

I took the tape I used to mask a series of paintings I had been working on and laid them out
in rows. I was amazed by the vibrance of the colors emerging on the (nearly) discarded tape so
I turned it into a piece in its own right.

Painted masking tape on foam-core.

Jackson Bollocks

I was interested in creating a "pollock-esque" piece and was pleased with the outcome!

Weathered Wood / Sunrise beach

This was created on panel board using the sun-dried, rusty nail technique of the next few pieces.

Bleached scene

Number three in a series. Panel board with bleached wood and nails rusted in vinegar.

Yeah you heard right

Weathered Wood 2

Another in a series of weathered materials.
I left this panel outside on the deck for 3 weeks and the rusty nail vinegar combination made for some interesting colors.

Pine wood and various materials. 36" x 12". $750

Weathered wood

A new direction for me based on an idea by brother Paul.
This landscape was created using the elements and "found objects."
Old rusty nails and cups of tea (poured over the piece) add to the color and texture,
the wood is then left outside to the mercy of the elements. This piece was placed on the deck for 3 weeks.

Pine wood panel and weathered materials. 24"x8".

NFS.

Beard

A painting completed for the 'Doubletake" twins exhibition in Kansas City.

Home Work

Number 4 in the series: Raiders of the found Art

Tattoo Jesus

This has an interesting story attached to it. I was driving by a church in Kansas City and noted that they had a pile of junk on the side of the road. On closer inspection I found this old print of the 'bearded one' sat in the dust! Unbelievable.
So I did some recycling of the work myself!
Mixed media. Old print and sharpie pen. 18"x12".

$750

Lovefuck

Another in the Raiders of the found art series. I found this Debbie Reynolds-Pat Boone album in a junk shop and it seemed perfect to hijack.

Mixed Media and ink.

Es against As

Found print with print block and ink.

Liam

My homage to the work of Andrew Wyeth. I really studied/admired the way he handled skin tones
and attempted to capture that technique here.
Acrylic on canvas. 2'x3'. $3000.

Blue Chair

This was an experimental piece. I wanted to play with lighting and
created the simple still life to achieve the look.

The world according to Phil

This was a self portrait completed nearly 10 years ago (hence my youthful appearance!
Just now loading to my site.
4' x 2', Acrylic on panel board. NFS (unless you twist my arm!)

Ultrameg1

I revisited my photo-realistic roots for this one. I wanted to capture a portrait of someone in an ultra-real manner.
Number 2 daughter (by age!)Meghan was my willing subject. I am at the stage of the painting where, even now, I'm not sure whether it's finished (or not).
I also tried using a lot more pencil in the finishing stages.
