Most of my inspiration is local, in Oxfordshire or
Dorset. In our low sunlight even humble Subjects
can be very dramatic. I find myself taking pictures
with my eyes and printing them in my memory. A
particular light or atmosphere, or pattern. If they
will not go away, I do Sketches and use Photos if
help is needed.
Then the Composition,
Colours and
Style just occur to me as I get going. I find rhythms
and forms asking to be portrayed in their own right.
This cocktail of sensible and emotional
effort leads
to something like Cave Paintings, but of the, here
and now. These new images appear, hopefully to
Decorate and Communicate, alongside all the other
images that vie for our attention every day.
I have been keeping my Pictures with friends and
family for many years, but recently was commended
at Art in Woodstock. Since then I have shown at
Modern Art Oxford and during Oxfordshire
Artweeks.
This year I have been
offered a venue for
exhibiting at Art in Woodstock.
