Following his recent death I felt he would be an ideal character for one of my portrait paintings. Painted in black and white for dramatic effect, this was based on an image of him having completed a major racing event. His blackened face shows how early racing, without full helmet and visor, left him exposed to the exhaust fumes, oil and grit thrown into the face of the driver. His panda eyes stare out at the viewer. I hope the viewer will appreciate the overall effect.

United Kingdom
I was born in North London, on 8th January 1945, the last of seven children. My chosen profession was Civil Engineering . The direction of my education took me away from art as a subject,however I never lost my interest and in my mid 50s I began painting as a hobby,initially in the Naive style but later experimenting with different styles and subjects. The Naive style of painting came quite naturally to me. I found that I could produce pleasing images which create a different reality to conventional academic art, allowing complete freedom to tell a story without following the normal rules relating to colour, scale or perspective. These paintings often combine a mix of nostalgia and humour and can best be described as Quirky. Later works have included a series of Art Deco fashion images, several still life images (inc. venetian masks), several solarised nudes and finally a whole series of Iconic portraits in black and white. Since the illegal invasion of Ukraine I have been selling all my original paintings for a charity that supports the people suffering as a result of the war. I have set up a website to sell my entire collection. These can be viewed and further details on the charity can be found on: artsforukraine.org.uk
