Watchers

[link]

Includes pretty much all the paintings I still have in my posession, a number of charcoal drawings, a section for life drawing and a wee expository few paragraphs on the subject of the tower blocks paintings and the experience of making them.

I hope to expand the exhibitions section at some point when I can harvest more photos from them (I lost loads a few years ago) and make another exposition for the church paintings, as they're a different experience altogether. And the drawings, come to think of it.

A bit of Franz Marc?
Thanks for the comparison.
I was/am influenced by Jahangir Sabavala, Svetoslav Roerich, . . . . .

only discovered Franz Marc when someone pointed out his painting in a book some three years back. After that i did a web search and saw more of his work. Great artist.

Ah I was just bumming around trying to find landscape painters here (surprisingly difficult!) and found your stuff striking. Everyone looks a bit like someone else so it's easy to pluck names out the air. But I can't look at 'The Fate of the Animals' without a shiver going down my spine
