Since retiring from the School of Art at Coventry University I devote myself to full time painting.
My painting as much as possible tends to be done directly from the subject but the cityscapes have to be developed in the studio using many return visits, colour notations, photographs and sketches as a basis for information.
This subject matter has an emphasis on light effects and surface translucency. The distortions and reflected images in glass and mirrors often create tensions with the flat surface of the paper itself and find expression in the natural sparkle and surface sheen of my watercolours.
2003 elected a member of Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours.
Paintings held in numerous collections.
