Starting to paint is starting to see. To analyse: I look at things in life as paintings, forever looking at the light touching an object. I have been painting for thirty seven years now, full time for the last ten or so.
I was taught tonal painting by Graham Moore, a well-respected painter and teacher who gave his students a very strong sound base in their work. Studio work is my main preference at the moment, focusing on floral still life; but there is also the joy of painting in the landscape in any weather, or sharing a model for life work.
"Painting is a sometimes frustrating but thoughtful occupation, with the chance to listen to great music at the same time, and I wouldn't wish to be doing anything else."
