  • Christina’s World

    It must be difficult for anyone born after the 60’s to imagine how important single images could be in forming imagination and memory for someone older.

  • Daisy,Daisy

    Daisy,Daisy

    The oxeye daisy is like the English, a perennial survivor with an architectural beauty and determined toughness attractive to others

  • Sublimated

    I have a chair outside the studio where I can sit and take in the scents, maybe the sound of children’s innocence in the playground over the fence behind the studio. Maybe I’ll argue with the robin who harangues me if I haven’t filled his feeder. Perhaps the cat will come and jump on my…

  • Looking into the light

    I go down to the studio with my vision fractionally altered by a morning walk. Seaford’s clear air clarifies and intensifies colour, especially at sunrise. It’s part of an evolution as an artist and the challenge to keep disciplined

  • The Ponderwall

    It started with the weather images. Today I take them with a sophisticated digital camera but I started them in pre-digital times as small gouache paintings done very quickly and very small from my back doorstep

  • Standen – an age of innovation

    Like many a great piece of design everything here is a product of a singular design practice, Morris and Webb. Wallpapers, carpets, the totality of the fixtures and fittings is a celebration of the arts and Crafts movement so strongly espoused by Morris

  • A Garden Start

    The colour flows from the movement of hand and arm allied to brainwork developing the ideas the eye has created in the mind, The gesture with pain carries the unconscious and conscious vision

  • Cultured Memories at Eltham Palace

    Eltham Palace from playground for Tudor royalty to home for a 1930’s industrialist now a tourist attraction and a domestic design masterpiece

  • Back to the Future?

    The world shifts and we roll backwards into a new future path, so my painting must follow my heart there too. Once more into the breach…
