2017    'Clearing' - a solo exhibition at Upfront, Cumbria

Exhibited in 'Advent Calendar' at the Courthouse Gallery, Kirkby Lonsdale, Lancashire, UK in 1989.

Jarrod Fencing was day 10!

Purchased in 1987 by Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery, Carlisle, Cumbria.    Apropos of nothing . . . four years after making this painting two tornado aircraft collided head-on over my village . . . in the exact same spot that the tornado appears here. Sadly all four pilots were killed.

This painting was commissioned by Culgaith Parish Council in association with Eden District Council (Millenium Fund) and is now hanging in St Lawrence Church, Kirkland.

Commissioned in 2002 by a family in Bangalore, this painting depicts an area at the foot of Cross Fell, looking back towards the village where I live and then beyond to the Eden Valley.

Jarrod appears in this painting a dozen times and is engaged in various farming activities. The building behind him is also ephemeral with the distant fellside showing through. . . as though we are looking back to a period before the building was erected in the 17th century. A bastle house is a semi-fortified construction built to protect it's occupants from the marauding Scots. Animals would be kept downstairs and this would make things warmer for people living upstairs.
