Latest Paintings of Musicians on exhibition in Cardigan

I have just delivered 7 recent paintings of music and musicians to Custom House Gallery in Cardigan. They include paintings portraying award winning percussionist Evelyn Glennie playing marimba, to Jan Garbarek the acclaimed saxophonist. The music conductor David Lawrence is portrayed in 3 vibrant paintings. All my paintings have their source in quick biro drawings I make from life whilst attending rehearsals, masterclasses and performances. These drawings provide the inspiration for the paintings I then work on when back in my studio. Have a look at the short video on my website under Selected Media-Video.
