Here is a broad selection to show the diversity of Patrick's imagery produced for different projects. It is not intended to show his best work, but to give examples of all techniques used - watercolours, oils, pencil drawings, etchings, tomographs, etc.

"All artists I know would make the same comment. I'm never satisfied with any reproduction of my imagery, especially on computer. To judge the quality of my work you really need to see the originals. There is no comparison. For some of my smallest paintings many people need a good pair of glasses, even a magnifier."

In December 2008 I had to be at an event at Lons-Le-Saunier in France, so all I had to do was talk to people in French and sign my new book. I did have time to do these two small "silly" sketches, which I gave to "Mon Oncle Lucien".

When I got home from France I had to do another small sketch about my daughter Rosie Woodroffe who gave birth on the day I came back home. This is also to do with "W.C.S." - World Conservation Society . Rosie and Simon Hedges both work for "W.C.S.". I'm now a GRANDFATHER, so for me that was the main news for 2008!

I finished this painting on the 29th. of November, 2008. The title is "JACOB'S LADDER" and we do have a real one in Falmouth, so here are the notes that I did before the sketch: Our planet (Earth) is our home (our house) and we could have several views from the "WINDOWS". "A.D." - Automatic DOOR.

IMAGES done in 2006 and 2007

This image "Peace" was my main suggestion for the book cover of "Benign Icons".

In my new book "Benign Icons" I have included a bit of the story which I did for my film project "Your Place or Mine?" This image was done as a sketch many years ago, so now I have added layers of oil colour.

These are also sketches done years ago for my film project "Your Place or Mine?" and now with oil colour added. The story fits in well with "Benign Icons", especially as everything I do has a possitive message.

I show this image both ways up, mainly because it has positive messages which ever way you see it. I may change the title. The dimensions are 40 X 40 cms.

Falmouth is full of beautiful chimneys, even dracaena growing from the tops. This is another image that inspired me simply because of a mysterious message I shall be able to interpret one day.

This painting was also inspired by the mysteries of life and Nature. No scientist could ever predict evolution for our distant future. To see that makes me feel keen to live forever!.

This is an unusually simple image, my plan to exclude any other small distracting subjects. I had no intention to include a facial expression, but my wife Jean spotted two straight away. Anyway, they're not supposed to look sad!.

All my images have a positive message, even a bit mysterious to myself, but as I did this new image I realised that I wanted us to use the swastika a different way, especially as it has a totally different effect in India and also as I love the Germans.

I started this image "The Animal's Epiphany" in 1990, but a few years ago I never expected to have the ability to finish it. Anyway, 175 Christmas Cards from me were printed in 2006.

"INTERNATIONAL FANTASY REALISM"

We also agreed on the latest suggestion for the title - INTERNATIONAL FANTASY REALISM. I also came up with a silly poem that really fits in with this global club - IFR.

Just imagine a nation - just of imagination! An international nation - with reality in action! An images nation - in friendship forever! Fantastic idea - International Fantasy Realism!!!

I added colour to some small old sketches for use as cut-outs in my new book - "Benign Icons".

IMAGES DONE IN 2005

I contributed these four to the exhibition at the castle VOERGAARD SLOT near SAEBY in Denmark, an international group show in celebration of 200 years after the birth of Hans Christian Andersen. A catalogue was produced, and if you really would like one, then I'm sure Claus could sell you one via e-mail. So you can find his address via my LINKS on my PALS page.
