Clive O'Sullivan

Started painting first in 1977 as I recall. Found that oil paint was my desired medium as it takes a while to dry. This allows paint to be manipulated and pushed around. Many a time I've simply thought 'It's not working' and wiped it all off.
First started with fantasy art as I like to produce scenes from my own mind. Rarely reference photos unless it's essential. Developed other themes such as ships and planes.
Started with the Shades of colour art group with Russell Brazier in the 90's with the intention to exhibit our work and the work of others who joined the group. Over the years worked in other themes such as abstract, figurative, landscapes and the figure. Finally got round to doing a degree in fine art. This coincided with production of sculpture. Also have a thing for religious subjects.
