This was the very first painting I did with The Cheese And Wine Painting Club on Facebook, way back in May last year, a few weeks after the painter Ed Sumner started it up to relieve the boredom of the first lockdown. Two lockdowns and almost a year later, it’s still going because the pandemic is still with us. I was really nervous doing this copy of Matisse’s Cat And Goldfish as I hadn’t done any painting since my first year in art college back in the 1970s. My first attempt took me ages as I didn’t have any confidence in what I was doing, although I liked the finished painting. But I thought I’d try it again, now I have had 9 months of practice and done nearly 40 paintings. I’m much more confident and it’s going faster than first time round. I did more than half of it in under an hour a couple of days ago and I think I’ll have it finished tomorrow. Here’s a timelapse video of it so far.

A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks

I have some small screenprints for sale, inspired by my drawings of the taxidermy collection at Swansea Museum. I have given these antique artifacts a modern twist by combining them with images of rubbish – old fruit nets, bubble wrap and plastic – highlighting the problem of human pollution and how it affects wildlife.
