'I DON'T SEARCH FOR SUBJECTS, THEY TEND TO FIND ME.'
REACTING TO MOMENTS / 2018
All I do is react. Anything may invoke the spell. Something catches my eye.
A sudden angle of sunlight, a shower of rain, the light failing on a winter’s evening. Nothing stays still for long. The thing is to be there, in the moment, to see it, to record it.
By the way, please note the painting of the bearded man above is not a self-portrait.
It is a copy of a masterpiece by van Dyck that hangs in the Rockox House Museum, Antwerp. The title of the van Dyck work is, Studies of a Man’s Head. It shows a head in two positions. I painted only one. That was hard enough.

If I had a retail shop, a gallery on a high street, the sign would say:
Authentic, original, artwork for sale, direct from the artist, face-to-face, one-to-one. The fact is, I draw, paint, and sell prints of my work to a select list of discerning art buyers, art lovers and private collectors, including friends and family. I'd welcome your comments, your commissions, your opinions, your custom. So, please, come on in, let's talk. |
