About The Artwork
I was growing tired of the whole production of stretching canvas over wooden frames, and there was this useful bit of loose canvas lying about, too small to wrap around a stretcher. So I thought I'd experiment with simply stapling it onto a board and painting over the whole area. At the same time I was drawn to brush and ink as a style and had been exploring the possibilities of very loose oil paint applied in the same way, but allowing the greater possibilities of oil. This is what came out, and it's one of my favorite oil sketches from last year. The original has sold but I thought I'd make it available in print form, keeping a sense of the rough canvas it was executed on.

South Africa
Art has been in my family for 3 generations, and in fact I still use the easel I inherited from my grandfather. As a child of around 5 my father bought my sister and I sketch pads and set up little still life arrangements for us to draw, so art is pretty much coded in. As an adult I was in the right time and place when CGI first came to SA in its most primitive early form (does anyone out there actually remember a 286 computer?!) and I rode that wave as it broke over the local broadcast and video scene, notching up some notable firsts and winning a pile of now forgotten awards. Eventually the forces of my life conspired to steer me to art proper, which is where you find me, now in my 11th year as a painter of pictures.
