I'm often asked about the objects that I paint. I own all of the objects in my paintings, and part of the fun is the quest for new and interesting objects to inspire my work.
I use vintage objects, combining them in unexpected ways to create a still life painting a little off kilter, a bit surprising, and with a touch of my "British" sense humor.

New Work: Still lifes with a View
I've been working on a series of still life paintings. Using skies as a background rather than the traditional dark setting has created quite a challenge, and led me to some interesting compositions.
You are an amazing artist. I met you once in Cave Creek Arizona and will not forget the experience or the paintings. You took the time to talk to me, and introduced me to the art of glazing. I was touched by that. Your work, out of all of the work displayed at the Cave Creek show captivated me. Now, still life! They are wonderful.

Storm Warning has been tweeked a bit. I love the raindrops on the stones and the drama of the storm, but it still need something.
