I’ve tried to capture the horse chestnut tree in all its seasons - from the first tender young leaves to full leaf and flower, and then, of course, conkers!

More of a portrait of an idea than the plant itself. I’ve taken various aspects of the blackberry bush: thorns, blossom, fruit, new leaves taking over from the tattered remains of last year’s, and found the colours and patterns that I hope express its spirit.

There’s a whole world going on under your feet…

There’s something especially tranquil about leaves floating on still water, and this provides the horizontal element of this painting - while the white verticals of the birch trunks stand out more as the foliage thins, and the remaining leaves are a glorious yellow.

A walk along Danes Dyke inspired this scene of clover, vetch and umbellifers. Colour-co-ordinated to fit in a particular place in my house, this canvas is not for sale, but I would be very happy to receive a commission to paint a similar scene.

Wave meets wave with flying foam and all the shades of green and blue you can think of - added to a pink background for contrast because why not?

My spirit plant! By September the Rosebay plants are producing seedpods and the leaves are starting to turn interesting colours.

A bridge, a pool… tranquil, watery images.

The long stalks of the sea kelp (Laminaria) give this painting a kind of Art Nouveau feel.

Another birch-inspired painting, this one with added moss. I thought this had a slightly Russian feel to it for some reason - hence the name.

Loosely based on a group of limpets and barnacles and painted after having a short break from art, this was an opportunity to go wild with some really bright colours.

Another venerable tree in Christchurch Park - this one has an intriguing hollow at the point where the trunk splits into two.

These flat rocks with their white striations, gleaming with sea water and holding tiny rock pools, had a mysterious, map-like appearance from above.

This magnificent tree stands in Christchurch Park in Ipswich. There are so many distinct textures and patterns, even within a small patch of its trunk.

The waves and weather have sculpted the sandstone of the coast around Sydney into many-layered shapes – this little inlet near Manly was like an off-centred cross, with the sea entering with a satisfying burst of spray.

A lump of granite had ended up at the bottom of a rock pool, and these winkles had made a criss-cross of paths through the algae growing on it. Where they had been grazing, the speckled pattern of the rock showed through, only to be blurred again when the algae started to grow back.

This was inspired by a slab of Lakeland slate with dottings of lichen and man-made marks adding to its natural variations in colour.

This outcrop near the Cornish resort was home to the most colourful array of lichen I’ve ever seen.

This birch trunk had smooth patches of white and silver against a craggy and weathered background.

The name’s slightly misleading - the differences in colour and texture caused by the mineral deposits in this rock have stolen the show from its inhabitants…

Inspired by the same mineral-rich patch of rock as the first Limpet Map, but concentrating on different colours.

This flat rock formation at Filey, very pale in the sun, is dotted with tiny pools and the odd bit of seaweed.

A thin film of water from the previous high tide still covered these limpets and barnacles on their deep-red rock in Whitby and gathered in the indentations made by the shellfish that had lived there before.

This tree stump on the banks of Grasmere has decayed in the most picturesque way, with the remains of the trunk taking on delicate shapes which reminded me of butterfly wings.

Another painting inspired by the Cornish coast.
