STYLE AND SUBJECT MATTER An extremely versatile realist. Paints in oil, watercolour, acrylic or pastel with equal facility. Draws in a variety of media. Scale of work ranges from miniature to mural. Subjects include landscapes, seascapes, portraits, groups of people, still-lives, animals, architectural subjects and fantasy. Has exhibited surrealist drawings and paintings on a few occasions. Since mid-=1998 has been working towards an exhibition of abstract paintings which will take place sometime in 1999. If successful, this is unlikely to mean the end of his career as a realist, as he feels the two approaches complement each other. GROUP SHOWS 1. Cape Artist, Newlands Hotel 1974 2.
