Always making. If I’m not making I’m thinking about making. Yes, even when I’m talking to you.
It’s all lined up neat and pretty on my website, should you want a trawl.

I sometimes look at others work, and wonder at their use of bright or clean colour, wonder if I ought to try it, mix things up a bit. Then I bump into a Sickert, and my heart pounds.

Sent this baby off to the framers today. After framing work for Sainsbury Centre in black, at the curator’s request, I’m a convert. Looking forward to seeing it completed. It is off to Scotland in a few weeks.

Deeply satisfying painting to make as the colour gods were on my side. Skeletons have obvious connotations, but in this case, they are, of course, me. Me so in love with the sea I never want to get out.
