Studies in meditative silence, they grow out of a momentary experience of deep connection with one of the objects that becomes part of the painting.

During those moments, everything else slips away and I become intensely focused on that thing, seeing it in a new light, and become suddenly aware of all its beauties and artistic possibilities.

It can take weeks – even months – to complete a painting.

Using a process known as the Flemish technique, the production of a painting is divided into three parts – the drawing, the black-and-white underpainting, and the final color layer.

Each step is completed and perfected before moving on to the next.

I came to painting later than most artists, having been educated as a musician, and then finding my way into a more practical career as a computer programmer.

Around my 30th birthday, I satisfied years of curiosity by purchasing a small oil painting kit. This turned out to be life-changing; before long I resolved to leave my technology career and devote the rest of my life to painting.
