“With each painting my journey of discovery broadens.  Each piece of unconventional realism is inevitably unique, made up of a combination of eccentric characters dressed - or not - in bright, happy colours, layered on in unrepeatable combinations.  From a simple notion, the subject builds upon itself with each successive brush stroke, taking on a totally, unpredictable life of its own.  With an enthusiastic, perky blend of colour and quirky detail, my intention is to bring a smile to the face of the observer.
