I’ve been working late nights on a new series of paintings out in my little converted garage studio. They’ve been in flux for some time, as is often the case with my paintings, and have been coming together in recent studio sessions. Bigfoot & The… Read More
Looking through some old photos on my computer I came across a photo of a painting I did in…..um…..I don’t remember what year. I do remember a few things about it though. It’s maybe a metre wide, done in acrylics and acrylic spray enamel on… Read More
Over the years I’ve made several paintings called The Source, including a small group of tondos I made a few years ago. It’s a theme which has captured my imagination since, as a high school student, I first saw a photo of Courbet’s famous painting… Read More
