AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT - we are halfway through January !

Now the Christmas Tree and decorations have been cleared, we can start looking forward to Spring and making plans. I’m an advocate of painting from life and not entirely from photographs. If this is scary to you - join me for some hints and tips. contact

On this updated website you will find :-

Examples of my work over many years practicing the skills of drawing and painting. From Art School to Artist residencies (3)and exhibiting in London, Toronto, Paris (Salon 94 - Bronze medalist)and many other places. Teaching others the skills. After 40 years+ I am still a passionate painter.

Pictures for sale. Many of the sketches I produced over the years as resident artist at the English National Ballet and Waterloo(Can) Jazz Festival, plus a few larger size paintings in oils on canvas (see above). New Year Bargains

Opportunities to learn - I offer demonstrations of my techniques to small groups or Art Clubs in and around the Dorset area. Individual advice 1:1 or small groups. Learn to love painting En Plein Air.

Commissions -I'm always willing to discuss a commission using my personal translation of a place or vision you have in mind, or the various options of portraiture. It begins with a friendly, no‑obligation conversation — please get in touch to start the discussion. contact
