Mallard Family
Terry's last picture by the 'cut and stick' method - made in 1987.
|
|
Noyers
An early miniature - though not the first - showing Terry's skill at fine detail.

Noel (Coward)
An unusual picture in just two veneers. Terry is particularly skilled at 'fine-lining' - the technique for inserting slivers of veneer to give thin, even lines - and has used it to good effect in this picture.

White Lady
One of the first of Terry's miniatures to receive a National award.
The circular shape suits the delicate subject. Notice also the complicated pattern around the edge which took considerable care and skill to keep even.
Terry is currently working on another vesion of this design.

The Journey
So simple, yet so effective. Just the meerest of detail in the two camels sets off this wonderful piece of castello veneer (probably Gossypiospermum praecox)
|
|
Homeward Bound
Another simple idea making the most of great veneer.

Royal Angler
A wonderful 'splash' effect achieved by inserting numerous slivers. The same technique can be effective for animal fur.

Tin Ghaut, Whitby (after Sutcliffe)
An interpretation of one of Sutcliffe's evocative black and white photographs, this picture was placed third in the Advanced Miniature class of the 1999 National Exhibition, just behind Quentin Smith's "Repos de la Nuit".

Runswick Village
Revenge! A year later the positions were reversed when this picture took second place to Quentin's third for Kings Arms, Eccleshall. Terry's clean brickwork is again in evidence in this fine example of miniature marquetry.

|
Argument's Yard (after Sutcliffe) 71 x 99 mm
More bricks! Another of Sutcliffe's photographs is given the marquetry treatment and was placed third in the Advanced Miniature class of the 2002 National Exhibition. As with many of Terry's works the title is neatly cut into the back in fine-line marquetry.
