Painting is my passion, originally painting exclusively
with Acrylics but now including Oils. Now most of my time is spent
either painting or searching for that perfect image to use as a reference
for the next creation. Striving for realistic works I will paint any and
all subject matter unlike many artists, in an attempt to deliver a true
to life experience to the viewer. From portraiture to seascapes or still
life to landscapes or nature, the endless variety of subjects keeps me
captive in my quest to deliver a story telling canvas. Acrylics I love
as I like to work quickly and can achieve many different effects through
glazing and scrubbing colour over colour. Not having to wait allows the
speed and freedom to finish, sometimes in one sitting. Oils I have
become to love for the pure rich colours and textures, giving a body and
depth not available with acrylics. Oils allow time to impart more detail
and realism and have taught me patience with no need to rush for the
finished work
