Acrylics, Oils
I’ve lived in Salisbury for over 30 years. As a self-taught artist I started sketching in my late teens during my travels around the world in the merchant navy. A subsequent hectic international business role kept me away from the palette until retirement 20 years ago allowed me once again pursue my art.
I work mainly in acrylic and oils to paint buildings, landscapes, seascapes, and occasionally portraits. My style ranges from very detailed work for buildings and still life through to a more open style for some land and seascapes. I guess my speciality though is the architectural work.
Locally in Salisbury we are blessed with inspiration for my architectural work. Travel and nature also provide an endless variety of inspiration. Ventures to France and Tuscany in particular have provided a rich vein of subject matter for many of my paintings.
I regularly exhibit at local exhibitions organised by Salisbury art groups and other organisations.
