All the natural elements of this painting come from sites Roger has visited in Arizona and Utah. In the background is a painting of Vermilion Cliffs in Arizona. In the foreground are forms from Bryce Canyon called hoodoes. All the rock forms are sedimentary, which explains the horizontal striations that are seen in those rocks.
The tower seen in the distance, that appears like a giant desert plant, is an imaginary future gathering place for festivals and meetings.

FLOATING ISLANDS ORIGINAL PAINTING 1993
MEDIUM Acrylic on Linen Canvas
Measurements 72” x 48”
Please direct any enquiries about this painting by using the CONTACT form.
For over thirty years Roger has been obsessed by a vision of floating islands. There is something inescapably alluring about the idea of weightlessness, but Roger felt that such a surreal idea had to be expressed in a visually plausible way to create the sense of spaciousness and tranquillity he wanted to convey. The trees depicted are portraits of existing trees and the floating boulders they grow upon are modelled from sketches of rock formations.
These islands first appeared in his work in 1971, in the painting used for the cover of the Fragile album for Yes. Then they were fragments of a world breaking up. The islands recur in the painting for The Flights of Icarus, an illustrated book published by Paper Tiger in 1976

The pathway on the right connects land with a lake that has apparently no source on the plateau of a mountain. Apparently floating above the watery mists of endlessly falling water.
This painting became the inner sleeve for Yes’s album, of the same name.
CLOSE TO THE EDGE ll HANDFINISHED PRINT
This is the second in a sequence of paintings based on the theme of the overflowing lake. As a student I went climbing all over Scotland and North Wales but I made one trip to the Lake District and climbed a small mountain, strangely called “Haystacks” and there right on the summit was a tiny lake called tarn. It amazed me it was clearly a permanent feature but equally clear was the fact that there was no source to replenish it apart from rain. It was however the source and inspiration for the painting. The original painting was made for the Yes album of the same name.
HANDFINISHED BY THE ARTIST
Prints hand finished and embellished by the artist, typically in editions of 50.
In 1997 when I made the first silkscreen print of "Tales From Topographic Oceans, I was asked to paint, as well as draw, remarque's on the print.
Test pieces were made on 638gsm Heavy Waterford Watercolour paper. The paper did not buckle or distort when worked upon. I let the image and instinct define what I would do and after a while I realised that I had two distinct approaches. With, for example, "Dragon at Dawn" or "Pathways" I worked with transparent paints to bring our the vivedness of the colour in the Dragon and in the foreground spiral in, "Pathways" this degree of enhancement reinforced the three dimensional effect.
In addition to the over painting, I added other features. For example, on the, "Close to the Edge" print I often painted extra trees in the foreground, or extra rock forms on, "Electric Sheep".
These hand painted enhancements were my response to the image and the moment and are unique to each print but I have also been asked to paint special features and a number of commissions have been completed.
All such additional work would be discussed and agreed.

RELAYER ORIGINAL PAINTING 1974
MEDIUM WATERCOLOUR AND INK ON BOARD
MEASUREMENTS 16" x 32"
Please direct any enquiries about this painting by using the CONTACT form.
LIMITED EDITION FINE ART PRINT
Relayer is one of the most iconic of the Yes album designs and has appeared high up in many lists for best album cover on a par with Tales From Topographic Oceans. Roger has often said that “The Gates of Delirium” together with “Soon”, a section of the piece, is his favourite Yes track. He has also said that he felt that “The Gates of Delirium” would have made a much better title for both the album and the painting than “Relayer”, having both a far greater resonance and relevance. Relayer has always been one of his favourite paintings and together with Asia’s ‘Alpha, represented the high point of his ‘drawn’ works on stretched paper before he changed his style for major coloured pieces by painting directly on canvas (usually linen).
It was painted at a time when the expectation was for Roger to paint in ever more vivid colours and this, a drawing tinted with water colour in little more than the water used to rinse the brush, was in sharp contrast to that notion.
The energy of the painting is conveyed in the swirling forms of the huge gothic structures, with the snakes adding a fluid coda of their own. Roger has very often created creatures that are made up entirely from nature such as the Dragonflies in the square chop Yes logos which were produced as an accurate black and white pen drawing, yet the wing markings come from moths and finally in two cases the colouring is based on tropical fresh water fish. With this in mind Roger had long held a wish to revisit the natural history of the two snakes and the making of this print gave him the opportunity.
The new versions are based largely on Rattlesnakes especially the horns over the eyes, yet he did not include the very dramatic ‘keeled’ scales of this species wanting something sleeker. So the patterns and the smoother scales are from the viper family and the spine is from a fish.
The print is a combination of elements from the original painting and the new painting completed in October 2019 and has been produced with a mix of inkjet (giclée) and silkscreen (serigraph) printing techniques.

This painting was created for the album cover of the same name by Linda Hoyle.
“When Linda and Mo asked me, I was very pleased to work on The Fetch, I loved the title and the music. The definition of Fetch gave me a lot of scope. I wanted to take the notion of a wraith out of the human and personal into something architectural and landscape in scale. Something that was moving and ethereal but that gave the sense that you could walk around and explore but to not lose all the sinister qualities of the Fetch."

After Roger had painted the cover for Yes’s fourth album, ‘Fragile’, I changed the shapes of the fragments of the world from quite, ’blocky’ chunks to segments that were more ‘pie’ shaped for the triple album, ‘Yessongs’ and at the same time sketched out the Fragile World. This was in 1972, but id didn’t complete the painting until a further 40 years had passed!

This painting was commissioned by Steve Hackett for his: Premonitions: The Charisma Recordings 1975 – 1983.
The figure and floating vehicle that he is standing on were painted separately to the surrounding trees, and the trees are portraits of local trees. Roger has always tried to make the implausible plausible, by paying as much attention as possible to the separate elements in his paintings and reproducing their likeness in a way that causes a momentary suspension of disbelief. The atmosphere evoked is bright and hopeful even though the word, ‘Premonition’ is usually associated with a warning or threat, but such warnings when they come in sunshine cause tension and dissonance.
