Biography
Selling regularly, worldwide on Artfinder since they started I try to send paintings the following day at the latest, if they are new then it might be several days for the paint to dry. I post worldwide with next day delivery and usually only 2 days to New York. If your country is not shown please ask for a shipping price.
In 2020, on a spur of the moment, and for the first time, I entered a nationwide competition run by Mall Galleries of London and came runner up amongst 1000's of entries.
I think of my style as perspective impressionism, painted instinctively to give a realistic feel. The bright colors I use reflect my life, never sad, never looking back.
. Denied early opportunities to paint, I kept my oil paints for 50 years and started in earnest on retiring. Consciously and Subconsciously my whole life has been spent with this creative urge, yearning to recreate sights and events around me. Somehow over the years I have absorbed these feelings that now evolve in my work. I paint quickly, with passion from my heart.. I instinctively apply paint straight to the canvas, not drawing or sketching, starting with the shadows and over painting to let the lower layers show through. in awe of the effects paint can produce, enthusiastic with every brushstroke, music in the background, at last realising a lifelong ambition.
I paint from my heart, why not share my heart with yours?
