Since I retired from farming , the subject of my paintings have been partly informed by my memories of happy times with family and friends and with one’s pets. The simple pleasures of picking blackberries, and strawberries, of picnics in the countryside, and walking with dogs. My work can be seen on Art UK, as it has been bought by Public collections.
