ABOUT THE ARTWORK

While cliff walking in Cornwall and taking lunch at Dead Mans Cove, this Herring Gull squatted very close to us. Unlike other gulls who have dive bombed me for food, this bird patiently waited for us to finish. I was able to study it over lunch and wanted to pare back this painting to show only the essence of a gull. Acrylic on canvas board, this painting has a base coat of burnt orange and consists of further opaque pigments with subsequent layers of colour washes. This building of the work gives it texture and controlled vibrance. It has one coat of Winsor & Newton Satin UV Varnish

Born in Gloucester and living and working in Cheltenham UK. I like to work in acrylic because it allows me to experiment, making changes quickly is paramount when wishing to explore your options. I suspect like most figurative artists I find drawing and painting the human form wholly embedded with human behaviour. The desire to secure more than a representation of a persons movement, the spilling of light over contours or the various other physical facets is the reason we continue to make paintings. To recast emotions in texture, colour and pattern and to make it still, perhaps this is a measure of a successful painting. I have sold work around the world, to individuals and organisations and have produced award winning public art (usually with a colleague) for various institutions.
