Personal Statement

I have been fortunate enough to have lived in a great many stimulating places so i painted them.

There are no hidden meanings
I have always loved doing painting and pottery and i am lucky that such ability as i possess has lasted into old age.

This activity of painting outweighs my interest in finding out why like life drawing and painting and i try to put figures in their context indoors and outside.

I have always enjoyed depicting horses, it gives me great pleasure to put this work into the Schoolhouse Gallery
I hope you will like it.
