I stopped painting for a couple of years focusing on improving my figurative drawing from life. I'd recently bought this wonderfully sculptural blue chair from another artist. Maria, is a Greek model I've drawn a number of times before and thought she could wrap herself inside this chair in an interesting and contemplative pose. She sat for many sessions as the drawing developed. I'd been working in charcoal specifically as I love black and white, but the blue chair was so dramatic that I used blue pastel to add vibrancy and power to the image. I hope the viewer finds looking at it restful and relaxing. Life is hectic enough and sitting looking at Maria I hope helps release some of the day's pressure.

United Kingdom
I was born on the Isle of Wight, an island of the south coast of the UK. I studied graphics at Portsmouth Art College and on graduating moved to London. I worked briefly at Thames TV doing TV graphics before joining a small design group in Fulham, south west London in the early 70s. Thirty years on I was running, with my business partner, a design practice employing 20 odd staff and working for large national and international businesses. in early 2000 I sold out and took some time off and a year on started up again as a freelance design consultant, mostly working for small businesses. Design was all absorbing until by chance a saw an exhibition of Lucian Freud's work at the National Portrait Gallery in London and was inspired to refresh long lots skills in drawing and painting. I subsequently took courses at Putney School of Art, Heatherleys and Life drawing at The Landmark Art Centre, Teddington. For the last four years I have had a studio at ASC Studios in Kingston with 50 other artists and I paint there virtually every day.
