I've at last picked up my paint brushes again after a 40 year gap! Now retired from a sojourn in Cornwall, owning a Golf and Leisure resort with my wife Kay and previously founding and running international operating Interior Architects G.I.A, I am now busy painting and writing.  During the hectic years, I kept my hand in with the interior illustrations and the occasional large scale mural.  I now paint in acrylics, portraits of people, pets and angels as well as commissions for rock stars and fantasy architectural capriccios.

TESTIMONIALS

From the moment I walked into Terry’s Art class I knew I’d made the right decision.

As a complete beginner with Terrys tuition, guidance and patience I am now growing ever more confident with my art.Terry will always strive to get the best out of us as striving artists and encourages  us if we are struggling but without being patronising. I really enjoy the sessions and I always look forward to the next one. AW

 

Very friendly and informative class. I feel I’ve learned a lot in a short time period and it’s fun!

I have been a regular of Terrys art group since they began and I have been amazed at how much my art appreciation and skill levels have improved.

Not only are the sessions educational & stimulating but the general atmosphere is friendly and inspiring.

The difficult( but rewarding ) painting process


Hopefully this slide show illustrates some of the struggle from reference photo, first sketch, through underpaintings to completed version. These are usually in acrylics but more recently sometimes in watercolour

Painting, especially portraits, is a struggle.  It's not just capturing the essential likeness, its defining the unique essence of the sitter that the artist seeks.  This applies just as much to animals as it does to humans. 

So the "joy" of a child on a swing is just as important as capturing  the likeness and the light.

Three similar spaniels in the slide show, hopefully capture their differences, not their breed standards.  Drawing and acrylic paintings have their own unique qualities.  Same struggle,different result - cemetery angels - although literally set in stone, also exhibit moods and character.

Painting for pleasure, eg drag queens, musical theatre or Bajan beauties, are chances to concentrate on colour, light, action.  Each painting is started with hope that this will be one of the better ones.  Perfection is sought - never reached



February 2022

My one man show opens at the Waterside Gallery at Dudley Canal Trust. Some old, some new and some VERY Pink paintings.
 
I’d love some feedback and love even more if you came along on Valentines Day when I will be on site all day painting Valentines subjects.
