I'm an independent artist offering paintings on sale from stock and to commission. I trained at the Central School of Art in London back in the 1960's and have never stopped loving paint, colour and the feeling of brush or palette knife on canvas. I keep my prices low, the quality high. I want my original oil paintings and the prints of my watercolours and gouaches on high-quality paper to be enjoyed by everyone who has a little spare cash for luxuries in these austere times - so go ahead and browse ... Some items are for sale from the page. If there's no price shown and you'd like to know more, or if you'd like to commission a picture, do contact me to discuss it.
And Another Thing - my other pleasure is writing. On this page you'll find my theatre reviews, notes, diary entries and poems, some drafts and some finished. Please feel free to comment ... as kindly as you can! In 2015-7 I was painting abstract compositions, experimenting with colour, symmetry, structure and form. Below are some earlier paintings, all on small box canvases, some mounted together. They are of small objects placed in relationships with a suggestion of narrative: I call them "Conversations". My paintings from my visits to southern Italy are on a separate page, "Italy" As most of my original gouache and oil paintings from 2005-8 have been sold, many of the items there are prints on heavy acid-resistant art paper. At present (2018) I am too preoccupied with my work as editor and publisher (at Dempsey & Windle) to paint new pieces, but when I return to visual art it will probably be to continue with illustrative and representational pictures.
