I love the flowing inks of the riders in the mountains

I loved using a pallet knife again while keeping the style loose and semi abstract
Skyfall Country … Scottish West Coast
This little landscape was painted after a trip up to Glencoe through the area where the James Bond Movie, Skyfall was filmed. The mountains and clouds are majestic and it’s more of a feeling you get being alone on the road with the mass towering over you.
The painting continues around the sides so no need to frame. it measures 20 x 20 x 4 cm
Great for a christmas gift

Aspects of Man
And another one blocked by facebook! Keeping standards consistent with the Royal Academy posting on Egon Schiele. Why is mild nudity sometimes acceptable and not other times. This is art and not worth blocking!!
This painting is on my website garthbayley.co.uk
Herd Mentality
Nature is a wonderful reflection on our lives. I find elephant families social hierarchy similar to our own. You have the old matriarch that makes the decisions while the old me just disappear (or go to the garden shed with the comment “yes dear”) They also work together as a team.
This painting of a herd of elephants would look great in a living room or boardroom. It measures 150 x 100cm unframed so would really be a statement piece. Available to buy on garthbayley.co.uk
Shosholoza
Shosholoza is the song was usually sung to express the hardship of working in the mines. It expresses heartache over the hard work performed in the mines. The word Shosholoza or “tshotsholoza!” means go forward or make way for the next man, in Ndebele. It is used as a term of encouragement and hope for the workers as a sign of solidarity. For me it represents a time growing up in South Africa. It can represent great joy in unity. This is based on the Zulu dancers of Kwazulu Natal. I can feel the energy.

Station Yard
This is still one of my favourite paintings from a few years ago. I went walking along the back of the Nene Valley Railway and approached the workshops from the A1 the lights were on in the sheds but the little hut stood out in the gloom of winter.

Exploding from the Starting Gates
The moment when the horse shoot out of the gates at the beginning of a high stakes race. Its controlled mayhem!
