A Celebration of the Ordinary

The Paintings fall into 2 main categories: 

1. Photorealism Paintings - detailed Paintings, some more highly

finished than others. These are mainly Portraits, Wildlife, Sports

and Toys Paintings.

2. Impressionism / Expressionism Paintings - loosely painted

Pictures. Mainly Landscapes but also includes some Wildlife

and Portrait Paintings.

Photorealism Paintings

Buzzard  - Wildlife / Nature Paintings

Most of my Artwork is based on photographic reference - 

usually my own but sometimes taken from the mass media 

or supplied by people who commission Paintings or Drawings. 

Influences on my Photorealism Paintings include the well -

known American Photorealists such as Chuck Close, Ralph 

Goings, Richard Estes and Randy Ford.

Popular American Realist Painter Andrew Wyeth and New 

Zealand Bird Painter Raymond Harris Ching have also greatly 

influenced my work and although not immediately obvious, the 

essence of Abstract Painters such as Jackson Pollock and 

Mark Rothko also resonates throughout much of my work.

The Photorealism Painting Techniques section covers all aspects 

of the production of the Artwork from taking reference Photos 

and transferring the Drawings onto board or paper, to the actual

Painting process and the Framing of the finished Artworks.

All the Paintings are listed on the Chronology page.

Impressionism / Expressionism Paintings

Wentworth Corn Field  - Landscape Paintings

A series of Landscapes and Townscapes Paintings painted 

in looser styles associated more with Impressionism and 

Expressionism than with Photorealism. The Drawing is

gestural and the Paint is applied spontaneously with a

certain sense of freedom, and some experimentation with the

various media used. See also Wildlife Paintings section.

 

The Graphic Design Artwork

Graphic Design examples of Book Covers, Leaflets, Brochures,

Magazine Designs etc. can be seen in the Collaborations section. 

Including  Artwork produced for Temple Press, Impact Magazine,

Brinsworth Comprehensive School Science College, and also

contemporary Artists such as John Cuttriss. Many of the Designs

incorporate Photos by Steve Greaves.
