Portraits 1
My first portrait commission was a painting of two boys, at home in their front room. At the time, most of my paintings were of people, mainly my wife and friends, but were not specifically portraits. Environment remains an important aspect of my portraits to this day. Through the Seventies and early Eighties portraiture became a main strand of my work, leading to my being exhibited in the National Portrait Gallery in 1986. As a direct consequence of this, I was commissioned to paint Miss Pears, which was unveiled on Children's Television (the Wide Awake Club) in 1987.
