I have always been equally involved with making pictures and writing (and publishing) books. I mention the books because I once wrote a story called ‘Nude with Mandolin and Grapes’, about a painting made obscurely in Paris around 1907 and sold at auction for a very high price in the 21st century. This picture represents that model without the accoutrements. An A3 size painting in coloured ink with a little added pastel, I made it with dip pens and brushes on quality 300gsm card (much more sturdy than paper). The picture is presented in a black mount, which brings the total size to 20" x 16" - ideal for framing.
Since leaving art school many years ago, I have been involved in various kinds of visual art – primarily photography, painting, drawing and printing – samples of which have been bought by numerous private collectors. I am currently revisiting my earlier passion for drawing, with dip pen and ink. I like to surprise myself, which means that I never know what kind of picture I’m going to produce from one day to the next. I would hate to get stuck in a visual art rut.
