“Art has been art of my life for as long as I can remember, and I have been oil painting for at least 60 years, on and off, with breaks of 10 years or more.

Now I am retired it is my passion.

I love painting Light and Portraiture, so many of my current paintings are Faces sculpted by Light. All my paintings are experiments, attempts to resolve problems, and when the experiment has concluded I move on to another challenge.

I paint Fast because that’s a side effect of my technique. Fast is good because I can experiment more!

I paint what I want to paint and refuse most commissions; if Art becomes Work – I am not interested.

Ultimately, I paint because I Must and sometimes it’s good and sometimes bad, but always a great pleasure, and right now that is what drives me :)”
