Introducing The Blues! 24 miniatures painted by me in early 2021, onto the blue section of the iconic Farrow and Ball colour card. Printed onto beautiful museum-grade paper, signed, dated, embossed and ready to be posted anywhere in the world.

This print is part of a family of four. In 2021 I worked backwards through the Farrow and Ball colour card. During the long, dark January of 2021 I started painting the blues. I finished them in March and here they are! As the green shoots of Spring started to appear, I painted The Greens. During the Summer I painted the joyous Reds, and as Autumn rolled in I painted the quiet neutrals. There’s now a set of four glorious new prints, spanning right across the colours and the seasons and indirectly documenting the strange year we shared in 2021. All of the Four Season prints are the same size (A4) and they’re all printed onto the same sumptuous paper, so they'd be fabulous together, but stand alone just as well. And they’re a standard size this time, so framing is a breeze. See below for a three framing options - straight into an A4 frame, or happily swimming in a larger 30cm x 40cm frame, on a homemade mounts painted with Borrowed Light and St Giles’ Blue!

These paintings aren’t a literal diary or record of each season. They are more about an atmosphere or a feeling which accompanies a time of day or season or colour or place. I really let my mind roam free when I’m choosing what to paint, and sometimes I’m surprised myself by what comes out. Amongst flashes of happiness and sadness there is plenty of randomness, as well as the plain, everyday thoughts and experiences which seem to be such a big part of life! I’d like the general air of mystery and suggestion in the paintings to be a licence for people to build their own stories around them. There are literally thousands of possible readings, and I love it when people tell me what they see and it’s something that has never crossed my mind.
