I have been painting for many years and have developed a love for watercolour as my favoured medium, I may return to oils in the future and from time to time produce an oil to remind myself of the difference,  it's a learning process and I hope that will continue to the end.
​I paint from sketches of current boats, my memories of being a fisherman at sea and from historical records, I have many reference books and there is much available online these days with public libraries and records.  I try to be as accurate and true as possible, always remembering to enjoy the creative processes involved in producing a piece of artwork.  I hope my pictures enrich the lives of those who live with them.

I Started to paint for a living in 2005 when l got a harbour artist's licence from Brixham Harbour Master, who bought a painting for himself during the interview. l worked on the good days during the season at king Quay where l sold prints and painted a picture on the day which usually sold,  I had a window in the town at a local shop which sold for me all year round and a shop which sold art and health food a little further out of town which displayed my pictures for sale also.

During the off season my Wife and l would hire stalls at local weekend indoor events.  I am recently retired but still enjoy painting and selling to those who are interested.
