The question - what is art & what is an artist continually absorbs me. Why paint & draw, scuplt & create all day? Does it matter & what does it mean?

Whether we know it or not, all art affects our mood and states of mind. 

Psychology & the workings of my own mind & that of others drive much of my images, I relate to artists from before the 10th to the 21st  centuries,

'Images of War - Unimaginable pain, madness, yet we do it again & again. Between 2000  & 2010 I painted 50 oil paintings of wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza.  There's a short video at the end.


The Book -'THE YEAR 2020 WORLD IN CHAOS'. My response to the pandemic was seventy drawings. The slidebar has some, but the printed version doesn't yet reflect the quality of the originals.

       Landscape Painting

The Impressionists  love of light & colour continue to influence my landscape painting. Italy is my favourite place.

             

        Buildings

Buildings hold stories of how & why they were built. When drawing one I often think of the men  & the work they put into the building  of it .

   

       The Imagination

In the 1980's when I started  painting I worked from direct observation, but over time the imagination has become increasingly influential.

THE FANTASTICAL

THE RELIGIOUS IN ART

All religions have contributed to human development, & all have contributed great art  which has stood the test of time for  hundreds if not thousands of years.

'An English Village Fairy Tale'

On the last day of October 2021 the doorbell rang unexpectedly. Maggie who I hadn't seen for ages. had a copy of the book she often spoke of writing - a fairy story of her happy childhood in a famous West Country village......& she wanted me to illustrate it!







I had the pleasure to be interviewed with Linda Winter by John Brantingham of the Sasse Museum in California in 2022 - below is the audio.

love, loss, life

 romance from another time & place


Norman Rickard. Love of my life. April 4 1952 - 2007.

The Consequences of war


Most paintings here are of children, distressed, wounded or dead & may be hard to look at. They are from the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Gaza. Between 2001 - 2015 I made approx 50 oil paintings & 100 drawings to raise funds for victims of the wars, including soldiers.

The pity is few people are aware most wars could be avoided by diplomacy, but sadly governments are rarely interested in that,

An interview with Rod & Inci Jones, creators of Thoughtrow Podcast in 2019 significantly increased my online visibiity . Through them I met Gene Sasse, founder  of the Sasse Museum of Art, California. Gene designed a beautiful online atalogue of my work.
