An old 1930's photo inspired the painting ( i don' know who the photographer was ) . I invented the title ( they usually come to me as I'm completing the paintings ) . I don't know why the initial image pulls me - especially as I change them quite significantly. Music is just as important as the image . In this case I was listening to Pauline Oliveros and The Caretaker " An empty bliss beyond this world" . they both strike chords in me of memory , loss , nostalgia , beauty and longing ...Painting is recent and quite thick in parts 5 maybe a delay in shipping ) otherwise ready to hang  with a certificate of authenticity & signature /date on reverse .

am British artist based in Brussels since 1995. I completed my fine art degree in the United Kingdom in 1988 and have since worked and exhibited in Europe. My subject matter is an emotional response to observations of the everyday world : people, objects and landscape. I hope my artwork evokes similar emotions in the viewer that I feel: tenderness, longing, fascination for the world. A love of the complex and intimate beauty that painting creates. Paintings are based on observational drawings, my own photographic and film archive as well as anonymous films and snapshots found by chance. A multi-layered approach in the painting process means the image is further edited and changed: the original can be unrecognisable, deliberately buried & virtually invisible or a ghost-like remain, an echo. The finished painting is a suggestive composite with an open-ended, multifaceted reading. I have written more extensively about individual paintings on the saatchi website ; they give details about medium and process as well as some of my own thoughts and initial inspiration . Please feel free to comment as I like the stimulus of exchange and thank you for looking .
