ProfileI am inspired by traditional styles of painting, like Indian/Persian miniatures,but I blend these ancient forms with historical cultural elements from primitive times to create a new vocabulary of my own. Using the rich colours of gouache and water colour I apply layers, literally with the paint, as well as metaphorically with the content. My painting is my ritual, my celebration, my essence. My research and ideas flow simultaneously together and make up the fabric of my work. I u

Title or Location: 'Summer Joy' 31 x 22 inches Acrylics
During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, I returned to work in front line A&E. These were stressful days and one evening on returning, my young daughter asked me to pain with her. I had not painted before and was a bit apprehensive and she said, 'paint like no one is watching'! So I did! I found it so therapeutic and realised I had an untapped creative well inside of me. I love the work of Claude Monet (particularly of his paintings in Giverny) and was very sad to learn he went blind from cat

Title or Location: Light on Judi
I paint in acrylics and paint landscapes. However decades ago I spent more time drawing faces than any other forms of art. I?d use a very black pencil and focus on form and values. A return to my interest in portraiture felt long overdue and this is the second in my series of well known faces. I like strongly directional light for portraits and what is more appropriate than have a star like Judi Dench drenched in light. Sadly I have not had the pleasure to meet Dame Judi, so my reference pho

Title or Location: Wooden Wave
This piece is acrylic on wood. I used some scrap pieces I had cut from the end of a wooden board I was using. The actual wave and cliff are from where the knot in the board had separated. As soon as I saw it I knew what I was going to do with it. This is two pieces of wood, individually painted and then screwed together. I love upcycling these scraps.

I originally drew George for Chris a few years ago but after he passed more recently, Chris came to me with a photograph which he said meant a lot to him and asked if I could do a drawing of it. It was a bit of a challenge but I did the best I could with it and when I sent an image of my drawing to Chris he first just replied ?there are no words? but he then came back later with:?wish you had known him Alan and in a strange way it?s like you did.
