I travelled a great deal as a young artist and rarely had access to a studio, so for me drawing became an essential tool for the exploration and development of my art.
1970s
UPDATES
Abandoned chateau, Bernay, Normandy
‘Graveyard in the Tyrol’, by John Singer Sargent
Sunday morning street market, Paris
Shingle washed together
East Dean, so inspiring I keep coming back…walking along the shoreline I noticed interestingly shaped pieces of chalk surrounded by little stones.
Smoking
The Cigar Shop, which in my past radiated an air of luxury. Cigars were a regular yet extravagant gift that were shared by fathers and sons. 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 Print 1960 – 1980.
Heritage
The Pie and Eel Shop was part of my London heritage, but I was never a big fan. 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 Drawing 2000 – 2021.
Shops – the movie
Down to earth
The greengrocers of my childhood were basic places with a strong whiff of soil, bare floorboards, and sharp knives.

Pocket Money
Sweets were such a treat when I was a child, and I visited the sweet shop regularly to spend all my pocket money.
