The paintings are all based upon my own thoughts and observations.
As a printmaker my normal working methods involve producing many preliminary drawings, before commencing the 'plate-making' process. This time I have taken the drawings further and introduced coloured washes. I am very pleased with the results especially the loose and spontaneous feel, something I try to achieve with many of my etchings.

Many of the photographs have been taken by myself using a small hand held camera. Needless to say, the quality of some the photographs are far from perfect.
