GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

I am often asked if I have regrets in parting with my paintings over the years.  In the short term, I admit to having some misgivings in that any artist has a strong bond with the ideas and experiences embodied in bringing images into existence.   However, being quite prolific, means that I don't have space to store too many "favourites".   It is a greater comfort to know that my paintings are out there in the wider world being seen and appreciated in various collections.   With this in mind, I thought it might be interesting to trawl my archived images to display together a selection of paintings no longer in my possession.   I have taken the liberty of omitting tiles, sizes, media etc. so that the images can stand in their own right.   My hope is that this will give viewers the opportunity to engage with the many different approaches present.
