I paint in oils - bold, graphic colours that push at the boundaries of realism. Juxaposing them with other media; chalk, pencil, bare wood, metal. IÕm obsessed with detail and painting flesh in a way that makes it seem alive - the skin transparent. Realism is used further to freeze a moment in time. But only sparingly - the eye is drawn to the faces, the eyes, the hands and then is swept away by the body gesture as the lines melt away to nothing but expressionistic line and colour. Tension and release.
