My pictures are about discovering patterns within the painting. A style has developed recently that merges my love of loose watercolours with the need to create intricate work. Sometimes the patterns are designed before the painting starts but other times they emerge by themselves in the pen work.




Marine subjects are a favourite and I always try and paint from life. The depth and colour of water and glass also appeal to me as do the flow of Art Nouveau and the stylisation of Art Deco.

Ronald Jesty’s watercolours fascinate me as do the flower and landscape paintings of Charles Renee Macintosh.
