“Life is once; forever.” -Henri Cartier-Bresson (August 22, 1908-August 03, 2004) An early pioneer in the nascent field of photography, Henri Cartier-Bresson never personally appreciated the label of photojournalist, and viewed himself as a surrealist.

As a musician and painter I’ve always listened to music while painting… never the other way round though. However, this one is about music moving my hand on canvas and although this was not the music I was listening to when I painted this ‘Character’, it may well had been. In this version too, with […]

The final life session finished last week, so here are my last live figurative paintings for a while. I have been alternating between pastel and acrylic of late rather than sticking to one medium and have ground to a halt developmentally.

What I’m really looking for is Redbud trees. I thought it’s too early, then I saw a couple on my way home starting to bloom. They’re hard to spot if they’re not blooming because they’re small twisty trees. I’ll keep looking for the Redbuds but if I can’t find them I’ll draw other flowers. This […]
