A painting I am working on



I know this doesn’t look like much as I haven’t done his head but it will completed soon. The outgoing headmaster of Wrekin College in Telford has kindly commisioned me to do his portrait. Should be done by July. Time oh time where art thou? There is always a challenge as an artist to capture the imagination of a client.

Whether it is producing music, writing a story or painting a portrait the challenge remains to balance your ability, your vision and their desires. Not an easy thing to do and when they happen to be a close friend you always want to give your best. As they say – the customer is always right. Thanks for trusting me Mr Drew. Peace

I am now on twitter

Still don’t see the point of it all but maybe I will fall in love with the tech.

A word on my artwork

I will be adding some things retrogressively as this is a new blog and yet I have tons of stuff form over the years.I will be adding some of my artwork such as the painting of Richie Benaud the great Australian captain and commentator ( donated to the MCC for the Tsunami appeal.)  and others from the cricket world such as Wasim Akram and Murray Goodwin.
