My site is made up of two subject matters, which are villages and cities. The majority of these cities and villages are inspired by middle-eastern architecture. My villages tend to be almost all my imagination, while the city ones often have a real existing landmark.I also often further beautify the city sites so as to appeal even more to the public. -

Aldous took acid with my dad in 1950's...they discussed Utopianism and cities of The Future...but my dad was drawn into nuclear war planning after the Cuban Missile Crisis and Aldous died on acid in 1963... the same day as JFK...I remember running to a nuclear bunker that day ...the British government thought it was the start of WW3...so did my dad...my dad gave me his signed copy of Aldous's amazing The Doors of Perception; Heaven and Hell for my 18th birthday... -
Virginia Hall DSC Croix de Guerre MBE was the top US spy in France in WW2...incredibly brave and funny, she had a wooden leg she called Cuthbert...she's another icon...this painting is based on her Nazi wanted poster (they gave her the code name Artemis) which I have coopted and placed against a tricolour. My dad knew her in the 50's when she was at the CIA..I remember her coming round for dinner, she was great...I loved Cuthbert too...she got on well with my mum...my mum was a dress designer for Jaeger..they were both VERY stylish..looking forward to the film this year..hope they do her justice...a truly great and genuine hero...loved painting this and remembering her -
Prints of Poppies at Argenteuil were everywhere in the early 70's...my first girlfriends' parents had one on the living room wall of their council house in Chester...I loved it but she thought it was kitsch...In retrospect I think it was popular because it's so beautiful and evocative...it always makes me feel free and I felt free here...painting my first water colour for 47 years! They had a Chinese Girl by Tretchikoff too and she was even more ashamed of that..I wander where she is now...I also love Monet for his courageous stand in the Dreyfus Affair...at a time when antisemitism is on the rise we need to remember when artists took stands https://www.jewishpress.com/sections/features/features-on-jewish-world/monet-dreyfus-and-the-end-of-impressionism/2015/12/17/ -
I love painting on cardboard....I always thought Joe Strummer dreamed it up as a punk thing...but it's been a popular material for artists since it's invention....this is my first acrylic -
Joe Strummer loved Jawlensky..and so do I...this is a copy of his 1912 self portrait which he painted on cardboard, when he was mates with Matisse and Kandinsky and joined the Neue Kunstlervereinigung Munchen before ho got booted out of Germany in 1914 ( he was Russian) and banned by The Nazis in 1933 -
I'm pleased with this abstract of shapes...a couple of circles, a couple of squares, a rectangle, a trapezium, , an inverted heart, a duck, a pair of lips AND a random 3d apple with a hint of green....first water colour for 47 years...I did this in the same manic session with the Homage to Monet -

Original oil painting, landscape on canvas. Signed by the author -
The Promise is a 40x40x1.5 inches large woodland bluebell abstract oil painting on deep edge canvas, white edges, ready to hang. The style is expressionist and abstract and was made using both blending techniques and thick impasto paint to give the impression of the colours and shapes of a forest clearing with bluebells and light through the trees behind them. The colours are muted blues, lilacs, greens and pinks and represent a memory impression of mine of bluebell woods in Sussex in Springtime. As with many of my woodland path and clearing paintings, there is a hint of the possibility of revelation and magic. That is because woodland walks always give me the feeling that magic exists and that I may find exactly what I want just around the next bend. Oil paint has the lovely quality of reflecting different textures and hues as the sun moves around the room. This one is no different and seems to act like a real woodland glade in April as the light changes and even though it is not 'realistic' as such, it nevertheless gives a definite feeling of the beautiful fleeting moment in Spring when bluebells flood the woodlands of England. -
