A Brush with Art: "Sunrise over Birmingham"

About Me

I have been painting in oils for 50 years, my first box of oil paints were a gift for my 9th birthday. I am self taught although I used to study paintings in Municipal art galleries from a very early age, trying to understand how they mastered painting techniques, Trial and error finally achieved the paintings you can now see. I am a published artist with prints having sold in Europe and the UK. I have paintings in the US, Brazil, and in the UK. Three paintings have been hung in the RMT headquarters in London for 30 Years, The National Union of Railwaymen produced Christmas cards depicting my paintings, they sold in sets of 6, altogether 120,000 were sold by the NUR over 3 years. Today I paint what I like, a varied and diverse subject matter, at present I am working with reflections in water, a little damp, but the challenge is to attempt to achieve either a photographic image or conversely, an impression.
