The paintings on view here cover the past twenty years or so…a varied palette I would say so await further examples.

Hating the term abstract what term could be used ? I prefer to say they are just paintings…why box the unboxable, especially within a square frame, nature would abhor that too.

Previous exhibitions have had the running title “The Subconscious Narrative”…& why not ? Something is going on in the back brain activating painting fingers.

The media is varied though I do enjoy using oils in particular however whatever is lying around should not be ignored. Sometimes you have to put down the brush & pick up a twig. The titles usually occur whilst painting or rather the doodle itself is unconsciously being drawn, so embrace the accident (it already has your life)…the doodle often being a tiny thing to the finished article & I see them all as landscapes…hardly in the traditional sense but I have this sneaking feeling that whatever is portrayed continues in its own world

I would not go as far as citing influences because such are hard to track anyway – we take influences in all the time – so if there seems a similarity with a certain artists work, it is purely accidental…influences should, if anything, be seen as mere stepping stones.
