HAPPY NEW YEAR! The Heavens oil on linen 147 x 102 cm Another older work from my period of surreal, allegorical still lifes. The most ambitious painting of mine at the time, and still to this day. A whole year of focused work was dedicated entirely to this work

Progression of one of a larger work, showing key painting stages; starting with the layout drawing - the 'map' for the painting. With more complex works I need to key in the background to a high degree before moving onto the central figure, like setting the stage for a player.

A time-lapse through the evolution of a painting. All works are individual but for me certain principles hold fast: - Everything starts with drawing - Background in painting is key - Light and Space are the building blocks Portrait of Prof Helen Moore for Corpus Christi College, Oxford

This portrait of my mother won the BP Portrait Award 2018 at the National Portrait Gallery, London A personal work which took some time to evolve - the composition of the objects ended up holding a deep symbolism, which I explain here 1/4 An Angel at my Table oil on linen over panel 100 x 70 cm

A recent portrait, where the inclusion of objects and narrative is very choreographed and of particular meaning. The sittings took place in the sitter's very unique and beautiful Knight's Templar Chateau in France, I couldn't have asked for a more characterful setting!
