Oil painting suits my short attention span – I can use the “How” – the techniques I’ve learned through the Martin Kinnear Studio and by studying and painting work by other artists, to paint the “What” – which can be whatever draws my attention. My subject matter is therefore unpredictable and varied.

“People don’t expect artists to work so variously, they expect to see all the work having the same overall look, as if the artist cannot help but work the same. The Art Establishment has imposed that expectation as if it was Holy Writ. That’s so imprisoning, like only living one life, or a writer writing all their books with the same sort of characters & plot. Surely the real joy of being an artist lies in freedom to play with diversity, variety of subject, materials & approach.“
