On the south bank of Father Themes, “Looking North from Lambeth” at the Mother of Parliaments. At 3.5x5 feet this is my first large painting and it is my vision of Westminster in the mists of fog. When my stepson first saw this he swore he could hear a RouteMaster bus in the background. My muse requested a large painting for our great room. This was a large learning exercise for me. My biggest brushes were not quite large enough for this painting. It was painted in watercolour on #140 Saunders-Waterford C.P. watercolour paper. This is the superior quality watercolour paper made by St Cuthberts Mill and comes with the Royal Watercolour Society’s endorsement. It is made using 100% cotton, the highest quality paper making material, to high archival standards. The paper is mounted on a wooden frame with a plywood front surface. Before the paper was stretched and mounted, the surface and edges were given two coats of white gesso to isolate the paper from the wood. The painting measures 42 x 60 inches and is ready to hang. My signature, a small cartouche, can be found near the bottom right of the painting. Also the painting is signed and dated on the back and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

United States
I am a self-taught artist-painter located in Plymouth, Michigan, born in Oakland, California. I have lived and worked in the U.S.A., Canada, The United Kingdom, Germany, and Singapore. I’m a self taught painter as are all painters. You must put in the hours at the easel. The only path for a painter is to paint. You are not wasting paint or ruining canvas/paper. It’s only through your own mistakes that you learn to become a painter. How do I start a painting? Something catches my eye; a shadow, a shape, some type of contrast. I see something that is not there, or more than what is there, or different from what is there. This impression will sometimes result in a verbal phrase, a few words. It’s not a title but perhaps an emotion, or a feeling, or a response to what I see. These are the seeds of a new painting. The best of a half a dozen Notan sketches establishes the armature/feng shui, main abstract shapes, value plan and division of space. I can proceed directly to painting unless there is a man made object that requires a detailed drawing. I paint landscapes. Some are impressionistic and others are more abstract. Watercolour is my favorite medium. As with any medium, there are limitations which lead me to add ink, gouache, and acrylic. I will sometimes add accents with conté or oil pastels. For the past 5 years or so, I have focused on painting a series with a single subject. I find these constraints stimulates my creative vision. The southern California beach scene is what I have chosen for my newest series. I work from photographs. They provide an idea about the dream or the reality of SoCal. My imagination takes over and I try to express my feelings about the scene my artists eye sees.
