The artist

I paint primarily in transparent watercolour.

My main work leans to abstract/expressionism but I do not restrict my efforts solely to this approach, as I experiment with various styles, including pen and wash drawings, realistic landscapes and still life.

Works in wood

I no longer work in wood as  I  prefer to concentrate on painting. I hope to return to a limited output of wooden creations in the future, especially since my daughter gave me her wood-turning lathe!

 

Landscape Watercolours

My first introduction to painting en plein air came with a group trip to Grand Manan Island with my teacher, Barry Coombs [website] - typical East Coast island weather - windy and rainy - provided a serious challange and the resulting watercolour sketches were not destined for any juried show!

Subsequent workshops with teachers such as Art Cunanan, Wilf McOstrich  and Doug Mays have helped to sharpen my observation skills so that I now see this as an area for development. I am pleased that clients agree and have purchased several of my landscapes.
