Selected Works

This page showcases the works that stand out for me this year. As the year progresses, pieces will be added and, as I set an arbitrary limit of four a year, some will be taken away.
 

Links to my selections for previous years are at the bottom of the page. 

 

Painting Stacey

Another print based on the combination of two life drawings. Both were short poses that I felt had something. Adding an eaasel to the picture provided an excuse to have two styles of drawing in the  same composition. I nearly called it "Model and canvas" but decided to name the model in the title. A kind of extra little gift.

Your Country Needs You (Amelia)

I was thinking about not including this in the Selected Works section. Not because I didn't think it was good, but because it's small. Small in scope. But I do like it and spometimes jokes have to be told. So there. We shall wait and see if it gets bumped off as the year goes by.

Naomi Salient

The first of a series of what is five at the moment of "Heraldic Naomi" prints. They are all 12cm x 8cm, made to enter for the Leicester Print Workshop exhibition of small prints. Based on lfe drawings and sometimes tweaked to give a more heraldic attitude. Don't know yet if they'll be successful, but I enjoyed the idea so much I doesn't cyare.

Leaving North Street

Here I revisit the print North Street Blues and make the Clock Tower a more satisfactory size, and turn everything round to portrait format. I'm wrestling with the idea of people in a townscape right now. I feel there's something Lowryesque calling to me about my town. But where he  was witnessing the highly social outdoor life of Northern towns as the industrial age began to wane, I feel we are entering the last stages of a more individual, atomised phase... who knows what'll come next?.
