Learning

Everyone loves a book shop, preferably second-hand, and this one in my drawing is promoting ‘Learn a Language’ – a skill I never mastered. It’s one of a series of shop fronts on the home page of my website that provide a link to different sections of my portfolio. Alternatively, you can click here to go to Painting 2000 – 2021.

WELLINGTON BOOTS

Much of Town’s imagery is rooted in his early years spent in Cyprus. Even before he had mastered the basics of an English education, he was familiar with myth and mythology; the beach where Aphrodite came ashore, the Tombs of the Kings in Paphos, the influence of the Phoenicians, Crusaders and Ottomans, and the symbols and characters of the ancient world. Over the years, this mingled in his mind to produce a lively and varied iconography for his work.

Home turf

This drawing is based on a Tailors & Cleaners’ premises in Brixton, owned by my grandfather, a skilled tailor and a stern Irishman. It’s one of a series of shop fronts on the home page of my website that provide a link to different sections of my portfolio. Alternatively, you can click here to go to Painting 1960 – 1980.

 

Holidays

East Dean, so inspiring I keep coming back…subconscious abstracts emerge from observing the shoreline and the landscape.

Tree Study

East Dean, so inspiring I keep coming back… this is a stunted tree I pass while out walking, my attempts to capture a likeness.

Summer scene

East Dean, so inspiring I keep coming back…two halves of a quick landscape sketch.

Shoreline

East Dean, so inspiring I keep coming back…walking along the shoreline I noticed interestingly shaped pieces of chalk surrounded by little stones.

Landscapes

East Dean, so inspiring I keep coming back…trees against the sky.
