David Bowie Shush Print

I have been a specialist painter for over 30 years, working in London at my studio in Shoreditch and later back home in the county of Essex. I worked primarily as an Antiques painted furniture restorer, for some of the top London Antiques dealers, matching 200 year old original paint to a restored leg on a chest of drawers for example. Also painting effects in some of the most prestigious homes in London & the home counties. I've travelled all over Europe to flea markets, observing & learning along the way. I'm happy to say, that I had a job that I loved!!! My Art now, is somewhat more colourful! Most of the furniture that I restored, tended to be French Grey, so now I am free to use as much colour as I wish, and I certainly take that to the extreme! Now in part living in Andalucía in southern Spain, I am surrounded by amazing light & colour. I love to concentrate on the eyes, they express the soul of each person, the true emotion, unlike a smile, which can hide or mask the story. I hope you find something that you connect with in each painting, as I do....
