Estuary Series

This series of paintings are concerned with that sense of absence and desolation at that time of evening when the clamerous activities of the day have gradually faded away and the space of the estuary becomes still and silent leaving a sense of emptiness and peace.
The language is simple the mood created mainly through the inter-acting colour.

Meadow Music Series

These two drawings are researches for paintings. I was inspired by a summer meadow covered in varied hummocks of a rust brown plant and tuffets of grass with the rest of the area straw coloured. The whole scene suggested to me related musical chords and the idea of a structure based on scales
developed

For many years I have had great affection for this book.

My work is based on a part where Quijote mistakes windmills for giants and they become a mesmeric phalanx of numerous integrated great arms hostile and threatening, reflecting Quijote's fevered mind.

I find enclosed walled cemetaries mysterious and stimulating. Just outside a village, like a village itself, well cared for and because of this an integral part of life and remembrance.

Unlike much work about Auschwitz I didn't want my work to be only about the basest acts of inhumanity, I wanted to celebrate the undaunted spirit of the people and their talents which they applied to make life minimally tolerable for the inhabitants in such circumstances. Ambiguity plays an important role in my visual language and enables varied interpretations throughout the work.

Landscape or cemetary, stones or dwellings,cypresses or spires, crosses or windows etc.
Music played an important role in the lives of the people and this is referred to integrally through the numerous diagonal rhythms which also form the basic structure of the work.
I wanted to create a work that was attractive thoughtful and peaceful and as well as remembrance to suggest things eternal of the human spirit.
