I am self-taught and now (albeit retired) as a full-time artist I churn out pictures (all of oil on canvas, mostly figurative) of portraits, landscapes, seascapes, beach scenes and still lifes, ranging in styles from English 18th Century to early 20th Century to the French post-impressionists and anything of a traditional figurative nature in between. Please note that the gallery photos are all taken with a 'phone camera and are intended only to give an impression.
For me, the process of painting each picture is an adventure in colour, form and light and shade and, when it works, is half skill and half luck, to be honest. Hence the variety in subjects!
