This web site is currently in development and will change rapidly over the coming weeks as the content is loaded and the design applied.

Welcome to my new website: I hope you enjoy perusing pleasurable pages of paintings. I have always had a keen interest in transport and as a transport artist I enjoy painting nostalgic scenes of a bygone age depicting vintage cars, buses, trams, commercial vehicles and trains etc.

Many superb photographs are available showing scenes of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, but the majority of these fine photographic studies are generally portrayed in black and white or sepia. It seems a shame that these superb old vehicles could not be seen in their appropriate liveries. My paintings are either watercolour or gouache or a mixture of both, some depicting old vehicles in scenes and others showing the image alone in fine detail. There is also a series of pencil drawings depicting classic British sports car which will be available for viewing at a later date.

Further paintings are to be added and will be available in due course.

Acknowledgements

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jamie Simpson for stepping into the breech and sorting out what was a shambles of a website: his computing skills are really quite amazing and he has developed this site in just a few months. I am delighted to say the 'nightmare' website has now been dumped and I am pleased to offer Jamie a link from my site to his own

Many thanks are also due to my 'gorgeous girl friday' who has spent goodness knows how many hours sitting at her computer and helping Jamie putting everything together. My girl friday will be running the show - I only push paint around ! - and you will be able to contact her with any orders or information that you require.

Thanks again, chaps-you're both wonderful!
