Main Gallery
This gallery contains mostly fantasy images done in acrylics and dating back
to the mid 1980s. Inspiration for
these comes from many different sources but most are taken straight out of my
imagination
Although I started out using watercolour paint, I've always tended to mix
media. This is particularly true when I got my first airbrush. I never found
watercolour would spray very well. For a while I used transparent inks, but they
tend not to be permanent. Coupled with my desire for a more 'solid' feel to my
work I moved on to gouache and acrylics. Acrylics are now my preferred
choice - they have the opaqueness of gouache and oils but you can still use
watercolour techniques with them. The pictures in this gallery effectively
represent what I would consider to be my preferred style.
Apart from 'Homeward Bound' and 'The Weird Sisters' which were private commissions, I still retain
all of the original images you see below. If you like what you see and would
like to own an original, make me a sensible offer and I'll consider it.
