The years are passing more quickly now, and as they do my interest in life and how it is lived facinates me more and more. That is why I make art.

  • Two Finches

    Two Finches

    In late September looking out my kitchen window I saw these two male gold finches squabbling over territory and I was struck be the fact that as I watched them I only saw or registered the bright coloured sections of the birds as they darted about really quickly. I knew the shape of the bird and I knew their wings beating but I could not see those things because of the speed of the birds so what I recognised was a combination of the visual with all ready stored knowledge because when I was looking it seemed like I could see the shape of the birds and the wings beating.

    This was the starting point for the painting you see above, above are some early sketches from the development of the work.

  • Art Exhibition at the Spout Yard Park Gallery, Louth Lincolnshire

    I will be at the Spout Yard Park Gallery, in Louth Lincolnshire for the next four days, if you are in the area do come along and have a look at the work. The work is a combiation of absrtract and drawing.ImageIt is also an opportunity to have a look at my piece Tidal Variations, it does not get out ofter because of its size, it is made up of four one meter square canvas panels and with spacing is approximately 4.8 meters overall.
