You can see right into their souls. Great storytelling and wonderful 'ordinariness' in the best sense. Each of his paintings is like a chapter of Tolstoy"D. Halliday
I like to paint people and am fascinated by their expressions, feelings and moods. Ideas for my work often come to me out of the blue and I then enjoy developing these concepts using the paint to capture skin colours and textures. I also get inspiration from current affairs and music, especially song titles.
