Biography

I started painting and sketching some 30 years ago but due to work commitments I could spend very little time on my hobby. That changed a few years ago however when I retired and I now have all the time I need. I am a self taught painter with a representational style, working mostly in oils, water colour and pencil. As hard as I try I have not been able master acrylics which I use mostly for blocking in; it dries far too quickly for me. I belong to an Art Group and sketch each week in the winter and paint en plein air in the warmer weather.
