Galleries — Portraits
“The eyes are the window to the soul.” Whether you agree or disagree, they are certainly the starting point for almost every portrait I draw. That's sometimes difficult with drawings of cars or houses but accurately capturing the beauty and soul of whatever I draw is my passion.
Inspired by the stark simplicity of the Beatles’ first album cover, my portrait career began at age 14, adorning classmates’ clipboards with their ‘fave Fab Four.’
Commissioned portraits of dogs, cats, cars, houses, boats, moms, dads, girlfriends, kids, dancers and even Egyptian artefacts bound for Christie’s Auctions followed for the next few decades.
When the muse calls, my pencils, pens, pastels and watercolours are my instruments of choice to respond. These galleries have some favourites of mine from over the years.
