Originality is coveted.
The paintings here are all my own work and originality is in every piece. You are viewing low quality images - the originals loook even better - but I must avoid any chance of copying. You can buy the only one of its kind.
The human figure is one of the most painted subjects, why?
Through our lives we spend a lot of time looking at people - our family, friends, relations, colleagues, strangers. We look closely at their facial expression and body language as part of the communication process. We see every emotion in the figures, love, hate, concern, sympathy, jealousy, antipathy, caution and many more. We assess the person’s emotional state so we can respond accordingly. Artists want to capture that emotion so that the painting communicates with you the viewer. These paintings do not describe a person or even a feature such as an eye, accurately but abstract the figure to capture the essence – a mixture of expression and body language.
Here is a variety of my abstract figure paintings... Please enjoy!

Another hat painting - The painting of hats has been a delight for this artist. The many shapes, colours and tilt create a character. I let the hat do the talking and do not put in facial details for example. This particular example has the rather obvious title of Cowboy but it works. It is an abstract figure painting with a hat plus a neckerchief as the main features all in glorious watercolour.
The series below were painted to put a sense of mystery into the abstracted figures. The figures themselves occupy only a small part of the painting but draw your eye immediately. but the large remainder is important to set the desired feeling to the work.

The figure is now hard to find but it is still essential for the message in the painting

My only goal.
I have emphasised that my only goal when painting is to create an emotion in the artwork and whilst others seek to create something they see I endeavour to create how I feel about what I see. I am not alone of course and the list starts with Rothko who could stir feelings just by colour. My blog post Getting Emotion into a Paintings expands on this point and I teach it too - Get Heart Into Your Art is my title for personal lessons.
