| I have been painting and drawing since leaving college in
1979. In that time the style of my work has changed considerably. The work
on this site represents the direction my work has taken during the last five
years. Prior to this I worked mainly in landscape, and, while I lived in
London, urban landscape. I used to paint very freely, and I am interested in
seeing soon how my current way of painting can be applied to landscape, as
well as to still life. Drawing is very important to me, and I regularly
draw the figure as well as other subjects. Some of these
drawings are on the site. |
