The Existentialists

2025, A group of three portraits

This is a group of three portraits. They are from photos I took all in one day of people I saw on YouTube. The first is of a protest in Russia against the war, the lady looking out caught my attention; 2. A prisoner of war, talking about his experiences; 3 A lady who helps people with their council tax.

The Maids Pillow Fight

This painting is taken from an old postcard depicting a scene from a theatre production in the early part of last century. The sailor seems to have crept into a posh mansion to visit his lady friend only to be discovered by the rest of the maids, who are exceedingly annoyed.

2005. The lake district.

2005, The lake district. On holiday I took photos everyday. Later, trying to get off of a long time of unemployment I started making these watercolours to sell: size  A4 on watercolour paper.

Stepney Green Park

I became interested in the linear design of this small park and its tall trees. I used to walk though it on the way to Oxford House where I used to volunteer.

1982. Margery's Waterfalls

A sister, Margery, aske me to paint her a waterfall with a Christian sentiment to it. Then I lost contact with her and she never got to see them. The first one was given as a gift to Jacob L, a doctor in psychology who visited me after 20 years (shock). They were from photos of Scottish waterfalls.
