Adventures in Acrylic Paint
You probably think that artists are good at creating paintings/images in all mediums; oil, watercolours acrylic paints. Many probably are, but I am not. I need to work at it. It’s a bit like being an athlete. You might be great at football but it doesn’t automatically mean you are a great sprinter, tennis player […]
The Walled City
What’s in a name? It’s complicated The name of the city I am living in right now is contentious. It’s official name is Londonderry but no one here seems to call it that, not even the council. Most people in the city itself, Protestants as well as Catholics, call it Derry. This suggests it is more […]
Illuminate Festival, Derry
The ‘Illuminate’ festival is running over two weekends in Derry, 17th – 20th and 24th – 27th February, from 6pm – 9pm. We visited it on Thursday night. It was very cold (double socks and thermals weather) but mostly dry. This was important was all the sites we visited were out of doors. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and a brilliant introduction to Derry.
Happy Christmas!

I am enthralled with your urban minimalism and I want them all. However does one choose only one of your incredible journeys, each painting with a small story, and every one so magnetic you want to be there. I am unable to express my admiration adequately of your incredible talent and unique style. It is exciting also that you are offering prints now. I am yearning for another of your paintings, to delight my home, or perhaps a print or two before October 8.
Thank you for your kind words, Debbie. There’s always a story. It part of human nature to want a story too. I find makes the painting a “deeper” thing. It also helps explains where it came from and what it means to me. Some of the scenes in the “Hollowed Community” project were chosen because of light, colour and composition. Others, were chosen because of the story I wanted to tell. That was particularly true with the “Former Grocer” as I never forgot the Grocer who mourned his wife. We forget so much of our past and yet other things stick with us!
