My Aim as a Painter

It is always the same: to place a powerful emotion inside the artwork. Others may paint what they see I try to paint what I feel about what I see. Colour, structure and composition become vehicles for that feeling and surrealism is one way to structure the art to effect. I use others such as minimalism - my blog post Getting Emotion into a Paintings expands on this point. 

I'm still exploring surrealism in search of that certain feeling

Each of these paintings is an original available directly from me the artist. You can purchase here on-line or, if you are local to Dorset UK, visit my studio-gallery to see a piece in person.
