| Artist's Statement: | |
| “I am a figurative painter. My training has been wholly academic and I have strayed very little from that path, my heroes being Van Dyke, Rubens, Rembrandt, Gainsborough etc. Basically, I paint what I see in front of me. That composition of the sitter in his or her environment is very important and needs much thought and discussion. I aim to fulfil a portrait commission to the total satisfaction of the client and also myself.” | |
