This is a portrait of my father from an old black and white photo taken in 1944. He was only 19 when he joined up, and was one of the many servicemen involved in D Day. He fought in France and Holland. One positive to come from this was that he met my French mother while billeted in Normandy. The portrait was created using many layers of oil mixed with cold wax, and cutting back into layers, stencilling and mark-making to achieve a weathered look

I cannot remember a time when I did not paint or draw. My work has evolved over the years, but since moving to the coast, I have drawn inspiration from my daily clifftop and beach walks. I love to paint boats, beach huts, and harbours in acrylics in an expressionist semi-abstract way. Having recently studied at the Classical Art Academy I have taken up oil painting of the same subject matter in a classical style. I am lucky to live within a few minutes of the New Forest, and its ancient trees, orange-tinged streams and unique light are also favourite subjects. I also enjoy portraiture using layers of oil and cold wax to create interesting images. My art is an expression of the joy I find in everyday scenes, in the colours and light of my local area.
