Recent work and development

As I enter 2010 I realise I am always painting about people one way or another, and much recent work has been cityscapes. I paint regularly in London, but in October a visit to Venice gave me generous new material for subject matter. Morocco has been another source of colour and excitement. It’s good to paint on location whenever possible, and I also use sketchbook and camera for reference to develop more finished work in the studio. Another favourite subject is musicians at work and, as we are enthusiastic concertgoers, I am always looking as well as listening! The strings are probably my favourite section for inspiration.  

My still life paintings are nearly always of ceramics or glass, fruit or food, or all of these things. Painting still life gives me the opportunity to explore form, colour and light without the time pressures of working out of doors or indeed with live subjects!

 My paintings are signed ‘tid’, a family nickname from my childhood.
