Cycle tour of Iceland – New drawing

My latest panoramic drawing, a 9 panel composite inspired from mine and my son’s 3 month cycle tour of Iceland in 2022. This was a fabulous ride across the centre of Iceland to Askja. My bike, Aaron on his bike, surrounded by silence …… and far far away from all the crazies ……

No shops, no convenience stores, …… carrying 10 days worth of food …. no need to carry water as you can drink straight from the streams and rivers with no problems and no need to purify the water as nature has already done that for you.

Wecome to the desert 2 – Ódáðahraun desert – Vatnajökull National Park Ísland. Graphite and oil on prepared card. 61 x 374 cm 2026. £3800

Do you have adventures you would like to immortalise in an artwork. Then send me a message I do accept commissions.

Just finished. In many ways the view itself is irrelevant…..it is merely the structure upon which any inherent meaning emerges. But the aesthetics of that view, how it is put together and structured is very relevant and of course this has a lot to do with our appreciation of beauty. And hints at a deeper pull, we can ask why one thing has an inherent beauty and balance and another not so much. And in this question lies a particularly interesting truth.

The trick is to point this out in such a way that almost it is hidden ….. it is there without the viewer realising it is there.

It can be summed up in this way …. That which is essential is invisible to the eye

New painting – ‘Bwrw Glaw

Bwrw Glaw. Oil on canvas 76×153 cm 2025

Bwrw Glaw Oil on canvas 76×153 cm 2025. £3400

The title is partly in Kernewek but the phrase Bwrw Glaw is also Cymraeg. As a lot of you know I am learning Cymraeg, along the way I am also picking up the odd words in Kernewek (Cornish) which is really fun.

The kernewek word for rain is glaw, and in Cymraeg bwrw glaw is raining or it’s raining and also falling rain.

It is always fascinating to know how close Kernewek and Cymraeg languages are and I have a liking for titling my artworks in the local language, but here with this artwork as well I have an opportunity to title the artwork in both Kernewek and Cymraeg simultaneously ….. thus continuing the centuries old deep connections between Kernow and Cymru. And it gives me the opportunity to play with language ……. much in the same way as the Shetlandic poet Christine De Luca does in her poetry.

The painting is available direct from me and if you live local you are very welcome to pop round and have a look. For more info send me a message via the contact page on this website
