About me

Location Barnoldswick, Lancashire/Yorkshire border, United Kingdom
Introduction My Exhibition Abstract, The most misused word ever! Each Painting starts as a simple idea (a seed) and then as it develops it takes the artist out of himself. Each time this happens it is the journey of a lifetime. Endless in its progress, the end of each painting is the beginning of the next one - Journey after journey. I have always painted life itself. The essence of that being light. Life and light are more important than subject matter. Life was all and still is all. But now I am painting details of life, so all of the works need to be considered and integrated to see that life was all and is all, as ever! My art comes from nothing. The old artists thought it came from God (talent), you were born or gifted with it, but we are all part of evolution, it is what we do with it that counts. I create, sometimes from nothing. Everything comes from space. From time to time, that doesn't exist; everything comes from nothing. I have said this all of my life. Frozen emptiness - eternal. Science is only art - art is only science. All is nothing, and nothing is all. Pure eternity. The rest is simply hard work and is up to you!
Interests Painting(!).
