MY THOUGHTS: The newer paintings have evolved over time by mixing and using the paint in an unusual and almost destructive way. They are representational abstracts, which through trial and error and learning have become (I hope) a coherent "new style" for 2011. My aim is to capture the essence of a location in an individual and contemporary manner and perhaps - even a new way of painting? Writing a 1000 words is not, as they say, worth one picture - so below are photographs of all work currently for sale.
AVAILABLE: Paintings will be removed when sold and new ones added when painted, with the intention of this website remaining up to date. If you are interested in any of the paintings please contact me to discuss further. I don't expect purchases from people looking solely on the internet. If you are at all interested either you can visit me or I can bring the painting to you. In many ways the second option is preferable as the location of a painting can be more important than people realise.
MORE INFORMATION: You may find it useful to visit my Other Website - where there are more examples of work. The paintings there are all sold but show a greater range of work and if there is a painting you do specifically like - I often paint a "variation" which is good way of working. There is also a CV, more background information and finally a Prints Gallery - prints are often bought via the internet!
