Welcome to my site and thank you for your visit. I have built this to showcase all of my paintings - old and new, good and disputable - with the hope of showing a tangible progression in ability alongside a truthful insight of my work.

In this section I have sub-categorized into six sections. The Loch Series where I paint on a large scale, taking the paintings to a highly finished level. Recent Paintings are general paintings from the last few years, whilst Seascapes speak for themselves - this is a mini project I am currently working on. In the Carnegie Club section I showcase some of the large scale paintings I have been commissioned to produce for members at Skibo Castle. Followed by Commissions and a large page documenting my Archive paintings.
I have gone into reasonable detail here in a Biography,  CV with Artists Statement, Techniques and a Diary. For any queries or questions don't hesitate to get in contact.

Saying this I have used them only on fine linen and could see them being less effective on coarser surfaces. Blockx - The fact that most of their colours, not earths and blacks, are ground using poppy oil makes these very attractive to me. As does their burgeoning reputation amoung reputable painters, some saying their ...

  • Site is officially open 17 November 2010 Hello, I'm pleased you're here and reading this, as it's been along time getting here. This is now my third site over the space of about 7 years and I hope that it's going to stand the test of time becoming the definitive one. If not only because of  how long it took to design and get  right - I think there are 85 pages, each one taking considerable time.So, what is the plan? It's full steam ahead right now organising the open studios at Wimbledon Art Studios. I have just sorted the framing and where to hang them so here are the exclusive pictures of the exhibition layout.Exhibition Layout, Scale image of where ...
