Thank you for visiting my gallery I really hope you will find something that you will enjoy for a long time to come. I’m surrounded by nature, the beach, mountains, rivers and I love to paint of things I see around me, I like to paint the fishing boats that go out in all weathers and at all times, day and night. It’s a dangerous job you will never see our local fishermen wearing a safety jacket, I doubt any of them can even swim. Sometimes at night with the wind blowing and the black clouds dropping its rain I can see the little green lights bobbing out at sea and my heart goes out to them. That's why as in this painting I’m always pleased to see the boats safely tied up, back at there mooring post, I then know the fisherman is back home and safe. I get a lot of my inspiration from three artist; Claude Monet with his use of colour, his expressiveness, detail and the softness of his beautiful paintings, Vincent van Gogh with his bold use of colour his expressiveness, and I like to think I’m a little impulsive like him, and Lowry unbelievable he produced the work he did just using five colours. My art tells stories not always happy and joyful, not always bright and full of light, sometimes dark and brooding, but full of my feelings, vivid, interesting and thought-provoking. I always try to put something of myself in my paintings, in the form the colours the brush stokes, my feelings, my joy, sometimes my darkness but I hope mostly joy and happiness. My paintings, wherever they go in the world, a part of me goes with them and I hope that comes out in my work and you also feel it. All my paintings are on good quality canvases with as many coats of gesso as needed I use the finest oils, I paint mainly with brushes but also use a palette knife, and my fingers when needed. Sides of the canvas are painted so no frame required unless desired. My works are original, one of a kind, very carefully packaged and a tracking code is provided. All paintings are signed and come with a certificate of authenticity.
