Carriers

30” x 36” (76 x 91.5cm) / Acrylic on gessoed panel / £4750
 
Have you ever noticed the high-voltage red porcelain insulators - if that's what they are - on power line installations? They look like miniature pagodas. The colours are exotic, not at all the sort of thing you expect from an industry called a ‘utility’. I like to think of the billions of electrons being bundled slowly along the wires by the massive waves of radiating energy, all unseen, ignored, unless the lights go out. The painting is presented in a wax-polished gesso frame by Stewart Heslop of London.

A First. In 2020, one of my paintings, The Treasure of Britwell Salome - Matins was accepted by the The Royal Society of British Artists (RBA) for exhibition at their Annual Show. The RBA is dedicated to promoting the highest standards of skill, concept and draughtsmanship in painting, sculpture, printmaking and drawing.

GUARANTEED TO LAST 1000 YEARS 

I live by the rule, when you’re painting you’re not only making art, you’re making furniture. I use the finest light-fast oil, acrylic and watercolour paints, and work on hardboard. If you don’t damage, burn or submerge the paintings, they should last 1000 years. If they don’t, well, get back to me.
