Portrait of Judith

Pastel on paper 70 X 45 cm

This started off life as a study

for an oil painting but, years

afterwards, I came back to it,

feeling the model's strength

of features and direct gaze

might work well in a medium

like pastels.

I think the finished result has

a delicate but striking air to

it.

Old Lady

(after Rembrandt)

Pen & Ink Drawing

17 X22 cm

Taken from an old painting by Rembrandt kept in the Hermitage Museum, Russia.

Like many artists, I find that studying paintings by Old Masters and trying my best to copy them, in who9le or in part, is a disciplined way of extending my own range and of coming to better understand the Masters' methods. Rembrandt always excelled in his depictions of middle-aged and elderly people and to work from his work is a pleasure that I hope this does some justice to.

Silver Valley (Tribulaun Alps) Watercolour 28 X 38 cm

Ancient silver-mines lend this valley its name. I often travelled the motorway Nth/Sth across the Alps and this peak caught my eye in many seasons and times of day until I felt compelled to paint it. It is shown here in mid-winter, in the chill of early morning.
