Tidal stones 2014. Oil on canvas.

Cerrig llanw 2014. Olew ar gynfas.

The second series of garden paintings, all oil on canvas from 2013.

Yr ail gyfres o baentiadau gardd, olew ar gynfas o 2013.

What can I say? A short series of oil paintings. Related to the “Hats and Jackets” series, I suppose. 2012

Beth?!! Cyfres fer o baentiadau olew. Yn gysylltiedig â’r gyfres “Hetiau a Siacedi”, dwi’n meddwl. 2012

I spent a lot of time in the life drawing class at Art College. In these oil paintings I returned to the subject but wanted to use simplified colour in the figure and background. 2012

Treuliais lawer o amser yn y dosbarth lluniadu ffigur tra oeddwn yn y Coleg Celf. Yn y paentiadau olew hyn dychwelais i’r pwnc ond roeddwn i eisio defnyddio lliw symlach yn y ffigur a’r cefndir. 2012

I had moved into my first house with a garden and became a bit obsessed with it. All these paintings are oil on canvas.

Roeddwn wedi symud i fy nhy cyntaf gyda gardd a chefais obsesiwn ag ef. Mae’r holl beintiadauhyn yn olew ar gynfas.

At a time before the sea and the sky became a full obsession, I painted this small series in oil, the commission for S4C was earlier than these 2007/9 paintings.

Cyn imi gael obsesiwn llawn gyda’r mor a’r awyr, peiniais y gyfresfach hon, roedd y comisiwn i S4C yn gynharach na’r paentiadau yma o 2007/9.

Out on my bike, discovering wild flowers and trees on the roadside. Not weeds, I know, but overlooked by the people speeding past. All oil on canvas 2004-2006.

Mentro allan ar y beic, yn darganfod y blodoau gwyllt a’r coed. Nid chwyn, gwn i hyn, ond yn cael eu hanwybyddu gan y pobl yn gyrry heibio. Olew ar gynfas 2004-2006

After the “Hats and Jackets” series, I wanted to simplify the figures and venture into the natural world. It was not a comfortable thing for me to do. Looking back, I can now see these paintings as part of my journey from a claustrophobic interior world to painting the sky and the sea in the real world. 2002-2004

Ar ôl y gyfres “Hetiau a Siacedi”, roeddwn i eisio symleiddio’r ffigurau a mentro i’ r byd naturiol. Nid oedd yn beth cyfforddus i mi ei wneud. Edrych yn ôl, gallaf weld nawr bod y paentiadau hyn yn ran o’m taith o fyd clawstroffobig mewnol i beintio’r môr a’r awyr yn y byd go iawn. 2002-2004

1999-2002.

This series of paintings developed from earlier paintings where I was trying to introduce figures into an abstract environment. Here, the figures and the environment became realistic. Plus, I was watching far too much television and not getting out of my flat much! (except for going out to work). So these bizarre images are the outcome of my environment at the time. These paintings toured around several galleries around the UK.

Datblygwyd y gyfres hon o baentiadau gynharach lle roeddwn yn ceisio cyflwyno ffigurau i amgylchedd haniaethol. Yma, daw’r ffigurau a’r amgylchedd yn realistig. Hefyd, roeddwn yn gwylio llawer gormod o deledu ac yn aros yn fy fflat yn ormod! (ac eithro mynd allan i weithio). Felly, mae’r delweddau rhyfedd hyn yn ganlyniad o fy amgylchedd ar y pryd. Aeth y paentiadau hyn ar daith o amgylch nifer o orielau ledled y DU.

I was doing a lot of work with gouache paint on paper at this time and these are some of the few oil on canvas paintings that I did. I was experimenting with introducing a realistic figure into an abstract environment. 1997

Roeddwn yn gwneud llawer o waith gyda phaent gouache ar bapur ar y pryd a dyma rai o’r ychydig baentiadau olew ar gynfas a wnes i. Roeddwn yn arbrofi gyda chyflwyno ffigur realistig i amgylchedd haniaethol. 1997
