While I'm hardly the world's most efficient when it comes to self promotion, I nevertheless keep very busy in the studio, constantly looking for ways to improve. Here's some work created within the past six months.

As I continue to paint, I find my focus in painting currently moving away from the more literal representation, into matters more connected with personal expression. This gallery includes less well developed ideas but is intended to show how my path might be developing.

Biography
I am a self taught artist living and working in southwest France.
Landscapes are all around me, and much of my work to date has used them as my basis for painting. I exhibit locally as well as receive visitors to my small studio.
Current plans for 2023 and beyond are to 'park' my landscape work as I return to one of my overarching interests and the source of many works in soft pastel (executed beforeI moved into paint) and which can be broadly summed up as "primitive cultures" (I use the word cautiously). I will soon begin work on a new project based on a series of ongoing visits to prehistory sites in France and my growing fascintation with the ancient craftspeople who carved, hammered and painted their way into history.

Now updated with new art!
It has been quite some years since I have been able to update my work shown here. Happily I am at last able to share with you some of the recent paintings I am busy creating here in my studio in southwest France.
I am a self taught artist, and it seems to have taken forever to acquire some basic painting and drawing skills, but I hope to continue building on these over the coming months and to continue to share with you my work.
