A Change in Direction, 10 Jan 2020

The human element has always featured heavily in my work, so it seems a very natural progression to move from painting ‘landscapes with feeling’ depicting figures within a landscape, to individual portraits of heroes, admirations and inspirations.  People I love and admire particularly from my long-standing interest in music and popular culture, the pretty and the beautiful, alive and dead.  I’m interested in capturing the feeling of beauty and the feeling of presence in a pared-down style.  The character and psyche without all the unnecessary details.

All paintings are available from Marvellous Art Gallery, Belvoir Street, Leicester
