Catalogue 2026

CATALOGUE  2026-27

This Catalogue is a distillation of 40 years work in 14 pages. It has an index & is available to collectors & art lovers  wanting to collect works based on a particular theme. Should any one be interested in having even a small part of this vast collection please make contact via the portal at the end of the website. I trust Dale Hutchison who is highly skilled to assist, advise on any questions you may have. My wish is to entrust the business side to Dale while I spend time in Italy creating more art.

Above - This picture has haunted me all my life. 'Dog of Comfort & Protection' was first created in 1983. Of all animals they are the most loyal & protective of all animals to humans.

I have two potentially controversial ideas -

One, that you can be an artist without going to art school.

Second - a suggestion to recreate, reinvent Christian Art for the present time, which can done without being religious.


The art world is changing - the time will come when art is valued for meaning, narrative, content & beauty more than money. Artists of all ages & experience must form groups to support each other to talk about art & how to connect with the public.


'Only in the West does Art constantly change.'

All cultures create art - on walls, bodies, fabrics, ceramics, buildings using all kinds of materials, change happens only slowly. Only in the west does it change so often its hard to keep up with. In a 100 years going from representational to abstract & everything in between. The only certainty is that new developments in art will surely happen.


I draw on art from the 10th to the 20th century to inform the present. I love beauty, skill & narrative. I'm not religious but I am increasingly attracted to Christian religious & I know many others are too. And if artists were to experiment, incorporate it in their own work the result could be transformative & see a unifying narrative emerge. I accept many will disagree & that's ok.


Circa 2000, computers, mobiles, websites, social media. AI arrived. impacting all our lives. Questions - is there a price to be paid for it's convenience? What long term effects will it have? What is the role of an artist today? Do we need censorship? Is modern art ugly? What is beauty?

What has happened to the Soul?

City of Bristol, my UK home & it's famous Suspension Bridge.

This oil painting was made circa 1994.  it's an outstanding entrance to a city & I never tire of looking at the bridge which appears to hang in the sky at night.

Bristol City is my home. It has much beautiful architecture and many tree filled public parks & gardens where people can sit, picknick, play, relax, look up & watch the world go by.

Detail from the painting of Bristol Suspension Bridge. The light & atmosphere constantly changes & I never tire of seeing it. Oil on canvas.1994. 70 x 66 cm.

Below are paintings, pastels & watercolours of the U.K. France, Spain and Italy.

 Where does Imagination come from? What is it for?

 

 

Imagination - Rather than draw what I see, I often kind of 'draw' my thoughts using imagination, memory & intuition.
The Human Body.

It's fragility, strength & beauty, can both repulse & attract. In health & sickness, joy, suffering & aging, it's witness to our life.

Landscape. 

Italy is my favourite place but I also love the U.K., Spain & France. Buildings. It's sometimes said that buildings retain their histories. Medieval churches & cathedrals are built with great purpose, energy, hardship & faith. Their beauty still attracts & fascinates today.

 
A Distant Dream  - to see frescoes painted by U.K. & Italian artists in a modern story of human nature & the natural world.





DRAWING, drawing & more drawing in dip pen and ink - it's so expressive.


Dip Pen & Ink is portable, inexpensive & only a few techniques are needed to start - if you've never done it before, just dip the pen in the ink & practise by drawing letters, numbers, or simple objects.   .....

The slide-bar above has drawings & paintings - of churches, opposing forces - dark-light, chaos-order, people, imagined forms, & more.

2025 & 2026. Two contrasting pictures - in one, a tiny figure challenges. The other is a muted oil painting of trees.

   Two illustrated books on Amazon -

'The Year 2020, World in Chaos'

 & 'Eclipse 2023'
 Between 2020 & 2023 I drew pictures in large sketchbooks illustrating my thoughts about what was happening in the world of Politics.
I used classical & modern images for the seventy drawings in each book, & wrote a brief commentary for each picture. They could be subject to censorship.

FAIRY STORY ILLUSTRATION -

'An English Village Fairy Tale' by Toots Malton.

 I hadn't seen Maggie for so long, but on the last day of October 2021 she suddenly arrived, book in hand, saying she'd finally finished the fairy story of her happy childhood in a famous West Country village, & she wanted me to illustrate it!

'Norman with Wings.' One of a series of oil paintings I made in the year after his death in 2007.

NORMaN LOVED BIRDS, candle-lit dinner parties, music & CHRISTMAS.

Norman Rickard, love of my life. We were the same age, born on the same day, at the same time, April 4 1952. He died on May 7th 2007.

The Consequences of war

Images of War 2003-15. 50 paintings & over 100 drawings

50.000 children were killed in Iraq during the 2003 invasion. I painted distressed, wounded, orphaned and dead babies and children in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Gaza. Not a single war has been stopped by war art. I see it as caused, not by those in the front line, but by those far away from it, who plan, design, implement, manipulate & profit from it,

It's known that diplomacy could prevent many wars, but sadly governments are rarely interested in that.

with a few exceptions, all pictures are available. if you would like one, please contact me.
