Experimenting with pastel and fibre pen. Depictions of the wildlife that we take for granted, but that are slowly disappearing with the encroachment of man into their habitat.
A beautiful figure of a beautiful woman. The human body has so much to offer an artist - angles, light and shadow, mood and of course, the challenge of skin tone and colour.
It's been some time since I've blogged, but watching a tv programme the other night, brought this picture to mind. I had done it some time ago and it still brings back happy memories of walking along the beach with the sand squelching in your toes. The orange tones also bring back the sense of warmth of a summer's day.
I was born in the North of England and came to South Africa 49 years ago and Cape Town has been my home since then. After studying and working at the West of England College of Art and Bristol University, I worked as a creative visualiser in a studio in Bristol. Whilst working in Europe I received commissions for interiors of large corporation offices and designed the exhibition stand at the Hanover International Fair. I have exhibited in Richmond, Western-Super-Mare and the Crain Calman Gallery in Knightsbridge. I also had work on show at the Barnes Gallery in London and in 1981 my work was exhibited in Moscow. Since coming to South Africa, I have done numerous portraits of some well know people.
