Acerca de mi trabajo
Acerca del trabajo:
Most times too conservative and tend to be influenced by what others say. Having had no formal trainind every new painting is a road to discovery. Perhaps one day Ill shake off the shackles and push myself to the limit.
Mi estilo:
Happiest when using a lot of paint and working fast.
Mi concepto:
To produce works worthy of fair comment and hopefully sell some on a regular basis.
Trabajo con estos materiales:
oil on canvas.
Qué tipo de materiales prefiero:
definitely oil based oils. Have just experimented with water based oils but we are not on the same wave length- just can't get them to do what I want them to do.
¿Qué me inspira?:
Art as a means to be reunited with my family.
Mi obra favorita y por qué:
The various boots painted by Van Goch- perhaps I have a fetish about feet.
Mi mensaje:
That someday we wil reach 95 percent harmony. 100 percent would be asking too much.
