Animals have always been an overriding passion. Having tried all the avenues open to an imaginative artist, ie.,the creation of landscapes etc., I have always returned to the beauty of Wildlife. When you manage to capture the personality behind any animals eyes, then you're suddenly almost creating a life, and becoming part of theirs.
I was late realising what pleasure ( and pain) painting involves. For most of my life I was sure that any artistic ambitions I may have had, lay in other directions, needless to say I'm trying to make up for lost time, and to be trusted with portraying past, and present, much loved pets, is a genuine honour.
