Portraits

100x120 cm acrylic on canvas . This was a commission for a gay couple who'd been together for over 20 years and who had recently got married, hence the title. I really enjoyed doing this one because it was a brilliant composition and technically challenging and because it was an opportunity to defy bigotry. — *SOLD* Husbands

164x164 cm mixed media on board. I have an idea that when I paint a portrait it should contain more information than just a simple likeness. I painted this just after I turned 60 and it shows a nude me - Alive & Well and surrounded by a collage of medical bills and info leaflets, pill packets of all the drugs I've taken plus scans and X-rays. — Alive & Well

Acrylic on paper. I was strolling through the geisha district in Kyoto when I came across this couple in traditional dress having their wedding photos taken. They were deliriously happy, obviously deeply in love and I hope my painting captures that joy. — Kyoto Joy

Monochrome Me

Acrylic on canvas. When I saw this composition I knew I simply had to paint it. A romantic image which reminds me of the pre-raphaelites, not in technique but the staging of the wistful, solo female. — Niki

Acrylic on canvas. This is one of my favourite pictures because it is a great composition taking just the light and shade and colour into account plus the ambiguity around what the boy is looking at and thinking. — The Boy
