I started my career as a professional artist in 1985,prior to this i worked for the forestry commision.
Although I have produced many paintings over the years,I still feel the same enthusiasm every time I am faced with a blank canvas.

Recently I have derived great pleasure from passing on my various techniques to students in my classes,some of whom have gone on to be successful artists themselves.

Since 2012 I have been building up a selection of Oil Painting Tutorial DVDs and I frequently send  them world wide.
On facebook I have set up a closed group specifically  for people who have purchaced my DVDs and many of them have become good friends.

 Two years ago I set up a youtube channel which now has over 158 Oil Painting demonstrations and has achieved  2.5 million views  
Below are links to a few of them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNVC61yDmRg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0Q_15v8D8o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY-AyPIZeBg

Over the last year I have been one of the Winsor and Newtons featured artist.
