Boats Near The Cutter Inn, Ely, Cambridgeshire. Painting

Born in Sunderland in the north east of England I have been producing original paintings for over 50 years. Until recently I lived with my wife and two dogs on the picturesque island of Mallorca, Spain. I currently live in Somersham, Cambridgeshire in the United Kingdom. The work I now create is partially based on a style I first developed for illustrating books. My paintings are watercolour based, enhanced through layers and then finished with variety of mixed medium to create the effects much favoured by current art-related product manufacturers. (Finishing touch mediums used on each of my watercolour paintings can include acrylic, hard and soft pastel, gouache, ink, charcoal, and graphite pencil). My work is very popular with greetings card manufacturers with over 300 of my paintings currently appear on greetings cards worldwide.
