Still life oil painting of a terracotta jug and clementine by Helen Davison

Giving things some time

February 22, 2017 · by Helen · in Fine Art, Materials, Still Life

Completed before Christmas, this painting was so difficult to bring to resolution, the only reason I kept it was because I persevered too long to scrap it. Firstly, I set up in a very dark corner of the studio where…

"Bound Rosemary", 6" x 8", oil on Arches oil paper

An Act of Remembrance

August 23, 2016 · by Helen · in Daily Painting, Painting, Still Life

Another painting on Arches oil paper, which I continue to enjoy. I wanted to play with perspective a little bit with this one, and included a blue backdrop in order to add both an element of colour as well as…

Still life oil painting of some garlic bulbs and a red onion by Helen Davison

Finally some Bulbs of Garlic

June 12, 2016 · by Helen · in Daily Painting, Painting, Still Life

Garlic bulbs seem to be very popular with artists as a still life subject. This is the first time that I have painted them – in a dark corner of the studio, with a red onion for company, fading into…

Still life oil painting of a skull and and other objects by Helen Davison

More Doom (What’s Wrong With Me?)

September 16, 2015 · by Helen · in Painting, Still Life

Another dark and doomy little painting from this dark and doomy summer! Actually, it wasn’t planned to be so miserable. It wasn’t planned at all. With little idea of what to paint, I looked over the still life shelves, filled…

'Red Pot, Warm Light'. Oil on linen panel, 10" x 8"

Red pot, warm light

March 25, 2015 · by Helen · in Painting, Still Life

This is a quick-ish painting that was approached with an Alla Prima sensibility, but actually worked on in a few short sessions where the paint dried in between. It happened that way due to time and light constraints really, although…

About Helen Davison Bradley


Based near Cirencester in the Cotswolds, I mainly work in oils and charcoal using time honoured techniques.
A keen advocate of the practise of drawing from life (believing it to be crucial in developing the observational skills of the artist), I feel that the interaction between artist and subject is the defining essence in the creation of a piece of art.

Brownhound? Huh?

Brownhound is the name of my web/graphic design business, which I have now stepped away from in order to concentrate on pursuing a career as a practising fine artist.
Having used the URL and email address for so long (and in honour of Sophie, the studio dog who inspired the name), I decided to stick with it as my point of contact. I'm glad you found me.
