The Male figurative artwork which I have painted over the past few years tells a story in my approach to painting. From the simplisity and graphic style of earlier paintings, I found that it took some bravery to break free of the restrictions of my linework.
It was around 2007 that things began to loosen up more and in 2009 I believe that the Male subject became more daring in that I was more willing to contrast dark and light and use colour more boldly. Current work is beginning to employ the use of fine textures which I have more recently reserved for landscape paintings.
Today, I paint celebrity artwork mainly to relax if the figurative work becomes challenging. I endeavour to keep the paintings as in keeping with my current artwork as I can and disregard the judgemental attitude of some others towards the painting of celebrity and celebrity culture.
I am very aware that some art galleries frown on Celebrity Art, Iconic paintings or as they have become known, "pop art" (regardless of the style). This is an area of painting which belongs more to the earlier part of my career and led to my artwork being published in two internationally relased books, "Marilyn in Art" by Roger Taylor and "Diana In Art" by Mem mehmet.

Female painting was the first time I used oil for early art such as "Bedroom Eyes" and "Monique". This gave way to acrylic as I began to get to know the medium more and the concern that because the subject was female, the painting had to be delicate and soft in some way. Latterly, female subjects have been painted with a broad brush and more energy than earlier works and similarly, to the male figurative art, texture has now been introduced, especially in the 'Goddess" paintings. The Goddess paintings tell something of a personal story, elements of which are revealed on the individual image pages but this is a theme which I intend to develop further as my painting progresses.
Glasgow art or Glasgow paintings, these subjects of iconic city scenes were first drawn to my attention in 2007, when I began to paint scenes from the city in which I have lived, at the time of writing for 8 years. There has been much said about the City Of Glasgow and it has had it's fair share of bad press of the years. Since the 1980's though, Glasgow has had many high pints including the Garden Festival of 1988 and the City Of Culture title in 1990.
Glasgow' City centre has some fabulous buildings. monuments and art galleries and these, amongst other landmarks, have become the subject of many of my paintings. I would hope that, as in the future, as I am able to visit more cities, I am able to paint new cityscapes, relevant to those places.
Landscape painting is,obviously, very different from painting figurative art. For this artist, it's very relaxing. Whilst I love figurative painting, it presents very different challenges, whereas painting landscape paintings seems less disciplined in some ways.
It is more about bringing atmosphere to an environnebt. You may notice that I also seem to have a "thing" about trees. This is not just about how good they look but about how long they live and the way they can thrive in just a small plot of earth. 2009 seemed to be the year for tree art paintings but this is a subject which I am sure I will return to again
