I spent some time working in Peru and when I was there I took on the challenge of hiking Manchu Picchu Mountain, which overlooks the famous ruins of Manchu Picchu. It was a much harder climb than I had imagined, made worse by my short legs and the giant stone steps that lead the way in scorching heat. When I looked down at the views below from such a height many of the vistas felt like I was in a hazy dream world. The colourful tropical plants along the way really kept me going when I wanted to give up and turn back and I believe my memory of their colours have influenced this piece. When I finally made it back down the mountain (spurred on by Jeff Buckley and Neil Young in my ears) after many hours to look around the ruins, two llamas greeted me and have made themselves present in the left hand corner of the painting. "Peruvian Memories" Mixed media on deep canvas. The sides of the painting are finished in gold enamel. Size: 70 x 70 x 4cm / 27.5 x 27.5 x 1.5″ This painting and limited edition prints of this piece are available for sale framed and unframed from @vachebleuegalleries Vache Bleue Galleries, 32 – 33 The Maltings Shopping Centre, St Albans AL1 3HL, United Kingdom.

Just before Christmas I had the pleasure of traveling to St.Albans in the UK to sign my new limited edition and artist proof prints that have been published by @vachebleuegalleries 12 of my paintings have been turned into prints in this release and 3 of them are from my collection inspired by "The Fairy Stories Of Oscar Wilde". Vache Bleue Galleries have done an incredible job with creating these beautiful quality prints, they couldn't have been colour matched any closer to the original. They are large and luscious so will be a statement piece in any room and are printed on beautiful paper which I will admit I was petrified of making a mistake on! There are just 25 of each edition of my landscape prints from "The Land Of Gemini" series so if you would like to get your hands on one you can contact @vachebleuegalleries or pop into their gallery in St.Albans for a closer look, where you can also see my original paintings. These prints are available framed in the UK and unframed for Ireland and other countries. 🖼️ Thanks to Olesya and @ivoru84 for the photos and Steve for his coaching so I didn't write the wrong number on the prints 😂. #vachebleuegalleries #landscapeprints #abstractlandscape #oscarwilde #oscarwildeart #fairystoriesofoscarwilde #limitededitionprints #artistofinstagram #artistproof #interiordesignprints #homedecorprints #ukgallery #stalbansart #interiordesignuk #abstractlandscape #highendprinting #framedprints #catprint https://www.instagram.com/p/CYmeNycsV2S/?utm_medium=tumblr
