Model posed against difficult light. 2012 Oils, 18″ x 14″

Started in 2004 from an old polaroid, this portrait of the missus has never been right. Just added a few licks while completing a commission, which proved the magic touch.

My first ever painting

early painting

This was my first ever painting – done at Havant College in ’79. It was done in oils on board – a massive 10 feet x 4 feet. Havant Borough Council eventually bought it and i saw it hanging in the Civic Offices recently. But now this initiative from the BBC has offered unexpected airing. Thank you!

I hope I’ve improved…
