Inspired by my recent visit to the Bonnard exhibition at the Tate, I found some new inspiration (including a wee nod to Arshile Gorky) and some new colours to add to my ever increasing palette. For fans of A Clockwork Orange everywhere. I’m quite liking it!
The first work of 2019. Occasionally, you have to break it down, to build it up again. Created after a particularly difficult time, this is a painting of hope and looking towards the sun… to let the shadows fall behind.
The Secret Guardians The eagle eyed amongst you will spot the Pollock reference in the title. Can you spot them in the painting?
The Loneliness of Adam This was painted during the Summer of 2018, after a disastrous trip to Holland where I lost a brand new iPhone with all my Dutch contacts in it. I managed to salvage the trip by visits to the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum. I’ve never…
The Great Gig in the Sky Now this represents something of another turning point, and this is another keeper for me. I tried this on the vertical and I love the blending of the colours – even Daddy liked this! For a while now, I have been toying with the…
Mist Opportunity This was painted after my disastrous trip to Amsterdam in the Summer of 2018. This is one of the few works that I have decided to keep. This will always remind me of that trip and how not go about travelling abroad. It is a distinct departure from…

The Glimmering This technique is now becoming my signature style I think. These are the works that give me the most pleasure when painting them. I find a great deal of peace wash over me when doing so. What do they signify? They signify whatever you want them to, see…
Can it really be 55 years ago today that our intrepid hero came kicking and spluttering into this heavenly orb? How quickly it passes.
Whilst reading a biography of Arshille Gorky, I came across this quote about him by Peggy Osbourne: “He was a solitary and single human being. He was never meant to belong to a crowd. He needed the crowd for his own confirmation. He was a noble human being with noble…
Midnight, Mitre Square. We stood alone on the outskirts of sin blinded by dazzling spires snowy white horses chubby tears fell silent on the cobbled streets the only way now, complete control mind popping: bladderwrack skin of a long dead natterjack; hidden under the ivy and joined the long dead…
Transmogrification for Beginners #1 A playful little number this, not really sure what I’m trying to say or what it actually means, but it remains one of my favourites that’s for sure.
Teetering in the Sane Zone For Emma. Not sure this works entirely, I find it a bit too dark, but as it was for someone special, I thought I’d include it.
