Acrylic on canvas (30 x 80cm) £POA On a warm, spring morning, whilst living in Guiting Power, I walked out with all of my art equipment and after spending an hour looking around for the ideal place to paint, all of a sudden, a deer jumped out of the wood. I glanced to where he came from and found the perfect spot to paint! If you look closely, hints of mauve reveal bluebells appearing.

Oil on canvas (50 x 50cm) £POA I painted this scene straight from the window sill. My girlfriend, Rita makes wonderful, nostalgic displays in and around our home. I liked that the Dutch doll sees everything that passes by on our Painswick street, never needing to avert her gaze.

Acrylic on canvas (99 x 30cm) £POA As a place to live and paint in, I was drawn to Guiting Power; a small Cotswold village near Stow-on-the-Wold. I witnessed something similar to the scene here as I first entered Guiting, with the sheep looking suspicious from their high castle made of Cotswold stone.

Acrylic on canvas (99 x 30cm) £POA Cleeve Hill is the highest point both of the Cotswolds hill range and in the county of Gloucestershire, at 1,083 feet (330 m). It commands a clear view to the west, over Cheltenham and the racecourse, over the River Severn and into Wales. I wanted to accentuate the beautiful dip in this vista which epitomises the rolling Cotswold hills.

Oil on canvas (50 x 50cm) £POA Snowdrops signal the coming of Spring. This painting was inspired by a scene on my 'Perspectives in Painswick' Cotswold Natural Mindfulness walk. Bright yellow stems burst into snowdrops, while the first tree buds of spring shoot out into the blue sky. Using a loose style of painting with sponges allowed for a more abstract approach and signals a time of rapid change.

Oil on canvas (80 x 30cm) £POA Walking extensively around Painswick to find new routes for my natural mindfulness walks, I came across this vista from an obscure walkway. I visit this field often, which is so peaceful it has become my favourite view. It's also my preferred spot to sketch and have a picnic!

Acrylic on canvas (99 x 30cm) £POA This painting is inspired by Pittville Park in Cheltenham - a subtle sense of perspective is given, looking from one bridge to another. In the summer, the view reminds me of the great, timeless paintings of Monet.

Oil on canvas (30 x 100cm) £POA I wandered Painswick with my sketchbook to find the perfect subject to draw. I had become quite obsessed with foxgloves and this one stopped me in my tracks. Whilst sketching, many bumble bees came and went, giving me time to capture their activities!

Oil on canvas (76 x 100cm) £POA This is just down the road from where I live. The Painswick Stream is beautiful in many places but this is my favourite view, especially when sun bleached like this. Adjacent to this spot is a chute spillway where the water falls at a furious pace, in complete contrast to this peaceful scene.

Oil on canvas (30 x 30cm) £POA At the height of summer, this portrait is of Rita, with a straw hat obscuring much of her face, except for the enigmatic smile...

Limited edition canvas print (26 x 51cm) £POA From the grass verge by the local guesthouse, these hollyhocks are towering into the sky. The road takes you to The Farmers Arms, my local pub when living in Guiting Power. At the edge of the painting there is a large archway, leading to my old cottage at Latimer Court.

Oil on canvas (30 x 80cm) £POA Bath is at the very edge of the Cotswolds and where my brother Steve lives with his family. We love to visit and I wanted to capture the atmosphere of walking along the canal in the summer, whilst featuring the iconic Pulteney Bridge.

Acrylic on canvas (76 x 61cm) £POA I lived in Cheltenham for six years and the Imperial Gardens were just around the corner from me. Rita and I had our first coffee date in town and walked back through here hand in hand. As we got back to the entrance of my house, we had a kiss. The approaching postman tried to ask where a certain address was, but I just said to him ‘We’re having a moment!’.

Acrylic on canvas (30 x 40cm) £POA Whilst I was still living in Guiting Power, my artist friend Faisal lent me a brass chamberstick for this still life painting. We picked up some small pumpkins from a grocers in Cirencester and I painted this during Halloween.

Oil on canvas (40 x 30cm) £POA This one was inspired by the collection of mismatched, and at times dusty objects on our mantlepiece.

Oil on canvas (103 x 43cm) £POA From the village of Edge looking Gloucester way at sunset. I deliberately painted the land as a small strip in contrast to the huge, imposing clouds looming overhead.

Oil on canvas (25 x 25cm) £POA Three wasps are getting tipsy on this fermenting apple lying in a puddle.

Oil on canvas (20 x 40cm) £POA The inspiration for this painting was an arrangement made by Rita, which still lives in our garden.

Oil on canvas (76 x 100cm) £POA In Sapperton there is a very old bridge, built in 1573. I threw a pebble in the water to make ripples and the reflection creates geometric shapes.

Oil on canvas (50 x 70cm) £POA This painting is inspired by a murder of crows, perching on the top of an old tree, keeping a lookout at sunset in the Slad Valley, very near Laurie Lee's childhood home.

Oil on canvas (25 x 25cm) NFS My brother Steve took a photo of a robin one day. His son Ethan commented that ‘Uncle Nick could do a painting of that!’. I was quite flattered and this became their Christmas present in 2016.

Oil on canvas (25 x 30cm) £POA Inspired by a dream of walking through the woods in Cirencester and throwing a stick for a dog. I compiled a 'Winter' playlist to get me in the mood (as it was the beginning of August!)

Oil on canvas (100 x 70cm) £POA This scene was painted entirely with sponges to show the delicate beauty and softness of these snowdrops. I wanted to give a hint of textile designer William Morris' style, who was highly influential in the Cotswolds.

Oil on canvas (50 x 50cm) £POA On March 10th this year, we had a huge snowfall in Painswick. I decided to try out a sledge that lay abandoned in the attic for years. Looking to find a good hill to sled, I came across these two small ponies...
