Child’s Bedroom in Old East Berlin. Oil on board.
Artist statement:
I generally make water-colour sketches of places and things that I find interesting and work into oils at home. I do also use pastel, but not so frequently, as the weather outdoors is often too damp in this country. I think I respond to humour in a scene or, alternatively, to the strangely magical. I find it hard to be inspired by a ‘chocolate box’ image, but some of my pictures turn out that way often because I don’t have time to find inspiring images. Pastel colourist David Napp has influenced a more free style, and artist and teacher David Embry has influenced my technique.
