Backstreet Painting

Retro-modern - that's what you can call my work. My palette is loud - I dream in colour. -------- It's been a broken journey. I discovered paint first as a child in junior school - used only black and grays much to the dismay of the art teacher - also, scribbled obsessively with pen and pencil; pages and pages - anything and everything. Then virtually nothing - After a hiatus of years, decades, living alone in Dubai, fed-up with pub crawling, slipping into depression, unearthed a dried out box of water colours during a clean up my daughter's desk - four years after she'd left to join her mother in London. It was a dam burst - I been painting since - Art ? If it is true - it is. That was 14 years ago. In London now - the light is different - the air free; starting to dream again - different dreams.
