Oil Painting
Ongoing experiments with oil painting
Summary
As you can see from the broad range of stuff I’ve made, I often find myself exploring different means of expression. Whether it’s novel’s or maker stuff, I’ve always found that I have more ideas than outlets, and that part of my process absolutely requires ‘doing’ to refine or lay to rest ideas.Oil Painting, for me, is a process of raw expression. The first 10 paintings I made were bleak, but they helped me see things from a new perspective.

Oil Painting
I found writing, (science-fiction), to be an excellent method of expressing ideas of technology, culture, and invention. In oil painting I found a way to express feelings and my internal landscape in a way I’d always been blocked from before.
My good friend Cara is a world class oil painter. She’s always inspired me. It was long ago that Is started painting, but I suspect it was her unknowing influence which lead me there.
My friend Miz with me at Norfolk Painting School
I’ve enjoyed two weekend classes at the Norfolk School of Painting, but my favourite painting setup is to drink french wine and listen to psychadelic rock in my stables (converted into a bare studio). I always did learn best by doing.
