The ever decreasing few who know me in the physical world as well as he digital will be aware that my background is in the fine arts and if you’ve ever had the dubious pleasure of being my house guest will be aware of the large painting that’s always adorned my walls entitled ‘Soul mate’ and dealt with the idea of sailing through life’s troublesome waters alone and searching for and hopefully finding a soul mate. The painting was created back in 1998 – 1999 whilst living alone in a state of shyness imposed celibacy, there it has hand and annoyed me a little that it appeared to not have enough density behind it, so 11 years later I have re-painted it, inspired by new people, surroundings and conversations and it has spawned a renewed love in painting again. there are many more paintings of this type planned and weekends willing they should be up here soon. I would dearly love to find a place to show hem publicity but that will come when there are enough of them and when I find a place to do it.

I’s all built with some old bits of paper, the side of a found dolls house a boat, some tricky painting techniques, some Dulux New Zealand range paints and signed by a cloth label (signatures are so last year, don’t you know).

Anyway, feedback and suggestions of improvements are always welcome, play nice and play fair.
