FIGURES
Figurative painting is where I find the most creative freedom. The human form in motion — dancing, surfing, swimming, simply sitting with a book — offers endless possibilities for composition, colour, and expression. Many of these paintings reflect my love of coastal life and watersports, placing figures in the sea, on surfboards, or riding the wind. Others explore more intimate subjects: a couple close together in a café, the drama and romance of the dance floor. All are original oil paintings, painted with expressive brushwork and a strong sense of light. If you are looking for figurative art that feels alive and personal rather than purely decorative, I hope something here catches your eye.

Last Dance of the Evening
Oil on Canvas Board. 510 x 760 mm
Two dancers are caught in the last moments of an evening — close, absorbed, the world reduced to rhythm and movement. The vertical format of the canvas suits the subject perfectly, drawing attention to the interplay of the two figures and the energy between them.
Painted in oil with bold, expressive handling of colour and form, the work captures the romance and intensity of the dance floor without resorting to sentimentality. The red dress of the dancer becomes the visual anchor of the composition.
A compelling figurative piece for a living room, bedroom, or any space that welcomes warmth and human presence. Original oil painting by UK artist Mike Dudfield.
£650 including frame
Yellow Rose Dance
Oil on Canvas Board. 510 x 760 mm
This companion piece to Last Dance of the Evening depicts a couple dancing, the composition built around warm yellows and the fluid movement of the figures. The vertical format echoes the upward energy of dance, and the loose brushwork gives the scene spontaneity and life.
Where the red dress painting has drama, this one has lightness — a brighter, more joyful interpretation of the same subject. The two paintings work beautifully as a pair.
Original oil painting by UK artist Mike Dudfield.

Nude girl windsurfer water starting – Original Oil Painting

Nude Girl on Surfboard
Oil on Canvas Board. 760 x 510 mm

Girl Reading Book
Oil on Canvas Board. 297 x 420 mm

Red Dress Dance
Oil on Canvas Board. 420 x 590 mm
