CV
Welcome to my web site.
The 'Paintings', 'Watercolours' and 'The Figure' pages show my latest work. My paintings over the last 10 years have become progressively less observational, more contemplative and very much memory based.
The 'Books' and 'Archive' pages show earlier work and examples from published books.
