I like to paint realistic still-life, enjoying the challenge of striving for realism without it looking too photographic. You may find me hunting around the Oxford outdoor market and antique stalls looking for interesting things to paint, after collecting various items, I then put my vision on to canvas. I have more recently tried my hand at portraits inspired by the people of Jericho. I do love how people express themselves with the use of scarves, hats, jewellery, make-up including beards/ hair styles etc. I strive to capture an expression on each face that would portray a mood/personality. My portrait picture gallery is called ‘Faces of Jericho’. The people are ‘real’ .
