About my work

Light, colour and form are the start points. The subject I return to again and again is the human face, the human figure, and the dramatic charge which the inclusion of a person or figure brings to a picture. I do enjoy painting out of doors, but my landscapes will nearly always include the works of man, farming or architecture, and are more often town or cityscapes, and likely to be peopled! I love drawing and painting in London.  I also like to paint interiors, and to organise larger, more complicated subject matter as in, for instance, the concert paintings in Oils.

In a more contemplative mood, I derive huge satisfaction from intensely observed still life painting. These paintings are more domestic in character and favourite subjects are fruit, vegetables, glassware and porcelain. My interest is in the different shapes and textures: round, angular, soft, shiny, translucent.

My drawings and paintings are figurative and observational, placing value on draughtsmanship and paint handling  My work is signed ‘tid’, a family nickname from childhood.
