MASSACRE OF THE INNOCENTS, AFTER POUSSIN
Buttonoil on canvas 34" x 29" cat 649 2018
I made a copy or my own version of Poussin's Massacre of the Innocents because another painter who I admired, Euan Uglow, had made his own version of this painting. I didn't look at Uglow's painting while I was painting my version. I walked in both mens footsteps finding solutions to the same problems that they would have encountered.

INTERIOR, LEIGHTON HOUSE
Buttonoil on canvas 43" x 48" cat 159 1988
I lived for a decade in an almost derelict house on Norland Square (in the days when such things were still possible). Leighton House was a short walk away across Holland Park and provided a perfect subject for an interior.

SHAKENHURST HALL
Buttonoil on canvas 40" x 40" cat 431
2013I treated this painting as though it was a still life; an object standing on a surface. My friend Mandy Severne owned Shakenhurst Hall .

ONLY A HEAP OF BROKEN IMAGES
Buttonoil on canvas 32" x 38" cat 469 2012
This was a large study for a commission for Millward Brown entitled 'windows on the world'.
The addition of glasses was a sort of joke; they are the windows through which I see the world, and books and Cezanne taught me to see.
