I have completed several new larger paintings and some of these will be appearing here soon. Others will be in exhibitions mostly this year.

Beginnings of Millennium Wood, Pinchbeck
I have been a member of the Woodland Trust for many years and so was very pleased that they planted a wood within half a mile of my house.
This mixed media painting was completed using sketches I made in July 2001. They had been lying about for ages until I came across them this year. Needless to say, due to the maturity of the wood, this view does not exist anymore!
Fen Edge, near Pinchbeck, Lincolnshire
Here’s one of the lastest efforts, in mixed media, mainly acrylic with a little oil here and there. If you would like to buy it, please contact me on francisbarkerart@gmail.com
Wells Next The Sea, Morning Colour
The North Norfolk coast is one of my favourite subjects, as it is for many artists, both now and in the past. The harbour at Wells is a particular favourite, especially early morning, or late at night. Misty conditions are equally atmospheric.
This painting has been completed in acrylic on stretched canvas, about 605 x 455 mm. If you are interested in buying the painting, please contact me on francisbarkerart@gmail.com
Art for Art
Cut backs or not, we can all still appreciate art. You can look but you don’t have to buy. You can buy and it doesn’t have to cost the earth.
I will carry on with my landscapes, seascapes and look to increase my watercolours and pastels (even oil pastels, once my favoured medium).
Why do I do it? The chance to capture that indefinable something.
