method to my madness
Somewhere on my website I appear as though I am making some kind of apology. I openly and foolishly suggest that there is no theme to what I paint. I take it all back. There is a method to my madness after all. After a recent long hard look at why I do what I do, I have come to the conclusion that just because my subject matter pops into my head without invitation and surprises even me the…

The art of painting.
As far as I can tell, the Art of painting is only about two things. Painting on to a canvas (or whatever surface you wish), a series of ideas (or one idea) in whatever way one wishes. i.e. This could be anything the artist wishes, a landscape, an abstract, absolutely anything. It can mean what the artist wants it to mean. However, such is the fluidity of ‘meaning’ a purchaser of said painting…
High Street Galleries
You will hear me continually banging on about ‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ and I stick by that. ‘Different horses for different courses’ and all that jazz. I will defend everybody’s right to call themselves an artist and the work that they present to justify the calling. However, (there’s always a ‘but’ or a ‘however’ isn’t there?) However, I’m really getting fed up with High Street…
Imposter syndrome is a bastard
One of the hardest things for me as I pursue the artist’s journey is taking myself seriously. Or to put it another way, fighting off what is commonly called ‘Imposter syndrome’. The dreadful black cloud of doubt. For me it shows itself usually when I have just finished a picture. I look at it and am pleased, sometimes even elated. A thought has come to fruition and in my mind is a success.…
Concerning the craziness of the art world.
There’s a lot of stuff online at the moment concerning the craziness of the art world. Some people seem very angry about the prices being paid for what they tend to call ‘not real art’ or words to that effect. For instance, it is not unusual for the disgruntled to follow up with an unnecessary remark on the lines of ‘my two-year-old can do better than this’. Now don’t get me wrong, everyone to…

I wonder... number One.
My thoughts need containing. So, this ‘I wonder- Number One’ post (s) are me, riffing on the nature of life. I have this theory that the Human Race are part of an inter-galaxy/universal survey group. That we are being studied and therefore observed. After quite a bit of research I have come to believe that our purpose for being here is to be studied as a measurement of reactions. We, I believe…

The power of paint. Buying art.
The first thing I want to say is buying art is not just for the rich and I do not think buying art should necessarily be considered a luxury. However, it goes without saying that if you do not have money to spare (something quite common in this day and age), the last thing you think of is something to hang on your wall. I think a lot of artists would agree with me when I say, times are hard. In…

Did you really think we'd forgotten...?
Listen. Can you hear it? I can. I can still hear the screams. Wrapped in the silence of bewilderment, disbelief and confusion. Is this a dream? Are we really pushed and beaten into such a small space where our shoulders touch and chains (are those chains) rattle and bind us together for the beginning of a long, long journey. A journey with documentation that we don’t understand. But a ticket that…

My son
‘Possibly leaning’. Acrylic on 16″ x 20″ canvas. £200 My son… When it becomes apparent that the strength you saw in my shoulders and my heart was an illusion… Will you stop loving me? When my thoughts become cloudy and slow and unable to make the decisions you once relied on… Will you still respect me? When the wisdom that you once credited me with proves a fable and a mere playground boast… Will…
