The drawing for this work was started in 1978, the painting was finished in 2023. A long pregnancy perhaps, but maybe some retrospective was needed to complete it sincerely. Conception - I was born just after WW2 and the marker for adult conversations were ‘he did that before the war’ or ‘after the war she did this’. Gestation - The Vietnam war was an unending TV reality/unreality during my time as a young man. Realisation - Iraq/Afganistan wars and its good intensions, polluted by unforeseen ramifications. Repetition - At the time of typing, the Ukraine war with the inevitability of conflict generational amnesia and the despotism/corruption of power. A Rowney Cryla acrylic base coat of burnt orange over the manufacturers gesso finish. Opaque pigments have been used to lay down some areas, acting as subject matter undercoating. Subsequent layers of acrylic paint have been applied laced with Liquidex airbrush medium and deionised water to achieve a wash layer. This thin multiple layering of pigment allows for a degree of luminosity, avoiding the usual flat acrylic finish. With one coat of Winsor & Newton Satin UV varnish, this not only protects the painting, but has a unifying effect. A suggested frame width of at 70mm for this painting. This makes for the best visual effect and prevents warping

Born in Gloucester and living and working in Cheltenham UK. I like to work in acrylic because it allows me to experiment, making changes quickly is paramount when wishing to explore your options. I suspect like most figurative artists I find drawing and painting the human form wholly embedded with human behaviour. The desire to secure more than a representation of a persons movement, the spilling of light over contours or the various other physical facets is the reason we continue to make paintings. To recast emotions in texture, colour and pattern and to make it still, perhaps this is a measure of a successful painting. I have sold work around the world, to individuals and organisations and have produced award winning public art (usually with a colleague) for various institutions.
