I have been painting pictures since childhood, and now, at the age of 42, look forward to expanding my output and display of work via the the internet. Whilst I enjoy painting landscapes, it has always been portraits and figurative subjects that have fascinated me the most, and for which I seem to have a natural affinity.

My paintings are held in private collections around the world, and I have exhibited in the UK, USA and Mexico.

My paintings can also be purchased via the UK's biggest and most successful internet gallery:   Londonart.co.uk , where I have feautured in the "Top 30 Best Selling Artists" for several years. However, the point of this website is to offer you the paintings direct from the artist, without paying gallery commission. For me, art has nothing to do with fashion, trends, investment opportunities or impressing friends. There is only one rule you should follow when buying art, and that is buy what YOU like. A painting should be something that gives you pleasure every time you look at it. It should evoke a mood, time or place that makes you feel good, very much like a favourite song. Hence the name of my website. I very much hope that you will enjoy what you see here.
