I've at
last picked up my paint brushes again after a 40
year gap! Now retired from a sojourn in Cornwall,
owning a Golf and Leisure resort with my wife Kay and
previously founding and running international
operating Interior Architects G.I.A, I am now busy
painting and writing. During
the hectic years, I kept my hand in with the
interior illustrations and the occasional large
scale mural. I now paint in acrylics,
portraits of people, pets and angels as well as
commissions for rock stars and fantasy architectural capriccios. |

TESTIMONIALS
From the moment I walked into
Terry’s Art class I knew I’d made the right
decision.
As a complete beginner with Terrys
tuition, guidance and patience I am now growing ever
more confident with my art.Terry will always strive
to get the best out of us as striving artists and
encourages us
if we are struggling but without being patronising.
I really enjoy the sessions and I always look
forward to the next one. AW
Very friendly and informative
class. I feel I’ve learned a lot in a short time
period and it’s fun!
MH
I have been a regular of Terrys art
group since they began and I have been amazed at how
much my art appreciation and skill levels have
improved.
Not only are the sessions
educational & stimulating but the general atmosphere
is friendly and inspiring.

The difficult( but rewarding )
painting process
Hopefully this slide show illustrates some of the struggle
from reference photo, first sketch, through underpaintings
to completed version. These are usually in acrylics but more
recently sometimes in watercolour
Painting, especially portraits,
is a struggle. It's not just capturing the essential
likeness, its defining the unique essence of the sitter that
the artist seeks. This applies just as much to animals as
it does to humans.
So the "joy" of a child on a swing
is just as important as capturing
the likeness and the light.
Three similar
spaniels in the slide show, hopefully capture their
differences, not their breed standards. Drawing and
acrylic paintings have their own unique qualities.
Same struggle,different result - cemetery angels - although
literally set in stone, also exhibit moods and character.
Painting
for pleasure, eg drag queens, musical theatre or Bajan
beauties, are chances to concentrate on colour, light,
action. Each painting is started with hope that this
will be one of the better ones. Perfection is sought -
never reached |
