I am a self-taught artist who retired from The Natural History Museum a few years ago.  As a palaeontologist I was used to drawing old bones, so progression to painting was natural and only a matter of time. 

I enjoy painting the English countryside and coastlines.  Based in Hampshire there are plenty of old barns, farms and wonderful vistas to record in all seasons.  Excursions to Devon and Cornwall provide additional material. Most of my paintings are of the pure watercolour style but I also like to use egg tempera because of its ability to reflect depth of colour as well as texture.

I am have been actively involved in several local art societies for about 20 years and have exhibited paintings locally as well as in London.
