About The Artwork
Undertaking this subject as an oil painting a was part of my first-year art college education in 1963 (some 49 years ago!). It was presented at the end of my pre-diploma year and the resulting pass enabled me to continue at Manchester College of Art and complete my course. As a child I was fascinated with aircraft - my father was aircrew for both the Polish and Royal Air Forces during WW2 - and making aircraft models from balsa wood formers covered with tissue paper... and planes were the subject of many childhood fantasy drawings as well as this painting, completed a few years before "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines" hit the cinema screen in 1965. This piece is my second earliest surviving oil painting - apart from four others in private hands sold during the 1960s - and being offered for sale for the first time here.

France
Abstract artist... stock photographer... writer... plant-based... fixie-cyclist... minimalist... and easy going, I studied Interior Design at art college in the 1960s, then worked in the TV and film industry for more than a decade, before turning to photography full-time. Later I published and edited specialist photographic magazines on darkroom techniques for several years and continue to supply digital images to the world's largest photo agency from my current location here in France. However, in a hard working retirement I spend much more time and energy as an abstract fine artist working with all media from old-fashioned paper, pencil and paint to creative collage and canvas.
