Over the years, most artists accumulate quite a number of unsold works. Storage is the only answer to the question, 'What do you do with all your unsold work?' The best way to store artwork is on the walls. Not only is it a safe way to look after them but you get to see artwork all the time. It creates a different ambience to a house that has bare walls.
These two walls are my studio walls and they display paintings and drawings that cover a 40-year period. The small still life paintings of fruit and objects are the earliest works. It was how I taught myself to paint. As the pics show, my subject matter is diverse and diversity keeps refreshing one's mind.
I have quite a small studio, measuring 3x3 metres, but it has a very good natural light, which is essential. Almost all my landscape paintings are done on the spot and sometimes I paint rooms or corners of rooms in the house, so most of my painting isn't done in the studio.
