Here is an eary work I did in 1991 after taking the watercolour lessons. It is a copy of an oil painting from a calendar, rather than a study of live flowers. By copying oil paintings I learned to create very bright and juicy colours. It is easy using oil paints but takes a little more work using watercolour paints. This early work displays many of the qualities that would mark my work...for example strong colours, brilliant light, and colourful shadows. The signature is quite different than it is today... the scribble signature was developed sometime in the early 90's, there is a piece of paper from that era where I was practicing the scrawl signature maybe it will be worth something someday?
