statement

I've been painting from the figure for over forty years and only recently I have found an interest in still life as a subject. Still life seemed to provide an opportunity to evade the suggestion of narrative, allowing for concentration on more formal issues. That said, I still, often, discover a protagonist in the compositions. In each of the works selected for this publication there is a toy of shiny plastic, a constant companion in my studio, a watcher and a memento of a time past.
