2020 update #1

June 21, 2020 · by Helen · in Exhibitions, Fine Art, Inspiration, Life Studies, Painting, Portraiture, Rambles, Still Life

I have been neglecting my website terribly this year. I have no excuses for this other than being busy and focussed on making new work. Although things have been very far from normal across the globe for the last few…

gouache still life painting of lemons

Gouache Project, page one

December 10, 2019 · by Helen · in Fine Art, Painting, Still Life, Watercolour

I have really neglected my website this year, and have quite a sizeable backlog of work to post. I’ve been so focussed on painting that I struggle to find time for anything else. In many ways that’s a good thing,…

Still life oil painting of cosmos by Helen Davison

Cosmos

March 13, 2019 · by Helen · in Daily Painting, Painting, Still Life

I have finally organised my photos and put them onto my computer, so I can hopefully catch up with uploading the bits and pieces that I’ve been experimenting with over the last few months. To get started, here’s a little…

Watercolour painting of an interior with lamp by Helen Davison

Illuminated Interior

November 18, 2018 · by Helen · in Painting, Still Life, Watercolour

A little watercolour interior. This is a lamp we bought after Nelly accidentally smashed its predecessor (which was something a lot more tasteful). It’s a pretty big table lamp, around 3′ high I would guess, and makes me think of…

Still life oil painting of garlic with a blue and white jug by Helen Davison

Garlic with the blue and white jug

October 12, 2018 · by Helen · in Daily Painting, Painting, Still Life

Well, it’s been quite a while since my last post. Many other things got in the way over the summer months, not least some ill health, and art has been the area to suffer. I’ve got a few new pieces…

Still life oil painting of tomatoes on the vine by Helen Davison

Tomatoes on the Vine

July 29, 2018 · by Helen · in Daily Painting, Painting, Still Life

A fairly rapid oil sketch of some vine tomatoes and the paper bag they arrived home in. I tried to not to fuss each brush mark, and to put down thicker paint and little medium to see how things fused…

Still life oil painting of Delphiniums by Helen Davison

Delphiniums in Cobalt Blue and Violet

July 19, 2018 · by Helen · in Daily Painting, Painting, Still Life

A little study of Delphiniums. Their colouring was irresistible.

Still life oil painting of Sharpies in a mug by Helen Davison

Something for Fun

July 5, 2018 · by Helen · in Daily Painting, Painting, Still Life

In due course I’ll probably paint over these, but in the meantime, they are a bit of fun. I enjoyed not really thinking too much about composition, and in the case of the Sharpies, cracking open some of my lesser…

Still life oil painting of a foil wrapped Lindt Bunny by Helen Davison

60 Percent

June 8, 2018 · by Helen · in Daily Painting, Painting, Still Life

This is another painting that was completed a few weeks ago – although quite a while after Easter, which was when this Lindt chocolate bunny was bought. It took some willpower to resist eating him until he’d been immortalised in…

Still life oil painting of wilted daffodils by Helen Davison

Wilted Daffodils

June 1, 2018 · by Helen · in Daily Painting, Painting, Still Life

I painted this a few weeks ago as we moved towards the end of Spring. I spent several days trying to capture these same flowers when they were freshly opened, but couldn’t resolve the composition, and regardless of paint passages…

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.
