For decades i was somewhat afraid of using oil. I like to work quickly, spontaneously and immerse myself in the process for brief, but extended periods - typically completing a canvas in anything from minutes (See some of the digital sketches) or hours.  

​

     On my second Art degree course at Putney, however, I finally had to confront my resistance and uncertainty. To my delight i found that working oil could be just as intuitive and creatively engaged as any other medium 

    

     my oil works are usually substantially larger in scale than most of the other pieces i create. the largest of the works here is five foot by four. even the smaller ones are about two and half by three feet.
