About This Blog

I am an artist based in Northumberland, UK.
At the moment I am working on subjects ranging from still life to portrait and figurative paintings and drawings. Generally, with a few exceptions, I aim towards realism in my work. To the best of my ability I try to paint what I see and understand about the subject. Painting, for me, is a journey towards understanding - a quest for knowledge and an ongoing struggle to understand nature and to decipher the effects of light on the world around. I try to paint as honestly as I can and bring out some element of truth and beauty of the subject I paint. I have created this blog as a diary of my progress and development, a record of the time spent in my studio and as a notebook of daily painting practice, sketches, ideas, demos, struggles and occasional ramblings.
Thank you for looking.
