My story from the beginning…

Many years ago when I was at school girls did Art and boys did Technical Drawing.

Fast forward several decades and I am working as an engineer and decided to do GCSE Art at night school as stress relief from work.  I really enjoyed it and spent the next seven years studying Art part time, final finishing at the Arts University Bournemouth.

When I start a painting I try not to predetermine what I am going to paint.  I just get my paints out and go with the flow.  This allows the picture to evolve as instinctively as possible.  I have always loved music and have a wide ranging taste.  When I have finished a painting I name it using song lyrics.  I have recently stopped using song lyrics and now produce my own titles.  For me each painting is still unfinished, until I have given it a title.
