I am a member of the Lytham St Annes Art Society where I run an experimental watercolour
workshop and am active on the committee. I have exhibited in Lytham, Blackpool, Milnthorpe, Garstang and Cockerham.
I am a member of the Arts Society Fylde, and here is my entry.
Also I belong the Friends of the Lytham St Annes Art Collection.
I enjoy working and experimenting in different media, where I try to find the essence of my subject and capture a mood or atmosphere as in
"Out of the blue"
and "Winter Moon".
I also try and experiment with watercolour and see what it can do. I love it when unpredictable things happen - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t!
"Xanadu" was my interpretation of the first lines of Coleridge’s poem. It is watercolour and ink sprayed onto the surface. I try to work more abstract and "Fragments" is an example of this. It is based on a sketch of the bark of a tree. I have also started to make collages and "Lithosphere" is an example. Using pieces of material: card, paper, stones, sand, all fastened with acrylic medium and painted with acrylic paints. "Autumn Leaves" is a watercolour painted mainly in a negative technique. |

My Art Gallery includes a few flower paintings in watercolour and Life drawings which is something I enjoy doing as it demands concentration and skill. Most of these works have been painted during the last couple of years.
