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.
