After not picking up a brush since my Art A Level days, retirement has given me the opportunity to resurrect my love of painting. I get a huge sense of enjoyment from creating in the post-impressionism style using broad strokes and raw colours. Most of my works are portraits but I also enjoy painting churches and I have been known to clear my basement, cover the whole floor with decorator’s plastic sheets, put down a canvas and get to work on a Jackson Pollock. More recently I’ve started experimenting with the Cubist style and, I must admit, Alberto Giacometti fascinates me.
