Only a minority of my paintings come onto the Home Website available to the public, this is because many are commissions, or sell ahead of uploading there, having been discussed on forums or within social circle as they were being painted.
That said, a number do come to the public and some are not pushed very hard as I like to have paintings on my own wall and I get attached also, alas they ought to move on though so this site now exists....I hope you follow it's progress.
Are you on Facebook or twitter.com? If so I'd really appreciate your using the share facility in the right of this page.
There is a wider sharing facility at the foot of the page too.

With all current work spoken for these past months I've not been getting any new original artwork on here, and the trend may continue a while, so I've taken the unusual step of allowing a photograph to enter the loop. 'Sundial at Tower bridge' is a photo I've promised myself I'd get for a long time, I love the Tower bridge here in London. Called the Timepiece , it was designed by artist Wendy Taylor and placed at the river side of St.Katherine's lock, in the shadow of the Tower Bridge in 1973. Getting a gentle sunset with Tower Bridge between it and the Sundial at the St. Katherine's Dock lock without any tourists and other humaniods in the picture has been a patience game, the weather required for the photo makes sure you have loads of them milling about, the restoration work has had some part of the bridge visibly a building site this past couple of years also to complicate things,....but suddenly I was there at the moment I needed to create a photo of utter calm. I have created two poster forms of it in my CafePress store, to see it there click here ... Sundial at Tower Bridge.., I have also created a Laptop computer skin (illustration) from an edited version..Tower Bridge Laptop skin to see the poster photo in higher resolution, click the photo above.
The Last Shark
'The last Shark' is a sister painting to the rather similar 'Shark Fin Soup' painting which continues to be very successful on the google search engine, and has been used to teach hundreds of people that there is actually a problem, an astonishing amount of people don't even know the grizzly business of Shark Finning is there and stripping the Ocean of it's apex predators.
'The Last Shark' is a painting that depicts a point where extinction is finally achieved full stop, no shark's of any kind exist anymore and the arch culprit made quite clear.
The mission of this painting is to help stop the shark fin soup trade causing the very event being portrayed! It's sale will cause a contribution an appropriate charity/cause of my choosing.
This is a 3x2 ft acrylic canvas.
£500.00

The Yellowhammer Reclaimed
The Yellowhammer had once been deemed the 'Devil's bird' in Scotland, Northumberland and far away in the area around Prague. When found it would be killed as such, it's nests and Eggs would also be destroyed, this somewhat eccentric little painting is on a mission to put the record straight...To read more click on the picture to be taken to it's page on the home site.

Robin our National bird
For fifty years (1961-2011) the Robin Redbreast has been Britain's National bird, it gained that status when in 1961 the British section of the International council for birds where tasked with the job of choosing a species.It was probably well chosen too. In Britain the Robin is a windows sill feeder that nobody would harm, on the Continent there's places they are appreciated with Orange sauce and they are a shy bird there.
It's not the first time I have painted this bird in abstract, the last time it sold very quickly and gets lots of remarks still, the one currently on my website is a tall 3 ft painting....Robin .This one is a small 10 x 10 acrylic on a box canvas, that is 1.5 inch thick and won't need a frame, the picture goes around the canvas sides.

Farewell Sparrow
Another favorite, it's been hanging in my bedroom long enough to carry my G.Rix signature that preceded my current 'Seawitch' one. It pays tribute to the dear House Sparrow that is vanishing everywhere for reasons unclear. The painting uses the colors of the male to describe the subject, set on a background of old brick to illustrate the urban environment it once throve in, complete this it's Latin name in Graffiti as if to leave it's mark from the past as people often do.
Farewell sparrow is a 3 x 2 ft acrylic on box canvas priced at £240.00.

Alina, the Rainbow Sail boat
Alina is a rare case of me using watercolors, about a self aware rainbow coloured Sail boat. It was one of many illustrations for a series of children's stories I illustrated by German author Christa Muffs, as yet not published, I look forward to that though. This painting I retained for myself, my Beachcomber hut for a bathroom could suggest why!
Alina is unframed to postal buyers, a 17 x 13.5 inch watercolor priced at £75.00

Pagan Jewellery
I have now created a section for PAGAN JEWELLERY on my CafePress site, it is affordable, not cheap and nasty, it will appeal mostly to Witches, Wiccans and other Pagans. All items are illustrated with my artwork.
***************************************************
This is a new section of my Cafepress store especially for people who went to my school in the B.F.E.S system, Queens school in Rheindahlen , Germany, no longer exists as such, it's now called Windsor school for whatever reason.
However Queen's school has a thriving website....Queens School Rheindahlen.com.. I've met some old scool friends on and it inspired me to create this store for us!
