when you are a hospital bed'

This painting started as a great idea but then lost something along the way I think.
'It's the shoes!'

This was a tester for a bigger painting, but people liked it so I decided to Finnish it.

acrylic on canvas 60" x 60"
This was the very first painting I done after I was ill and came out of hospital. I had not painted for 6 months and I coudnt really leave the house. So this was the view out the window for a lot of that time. I don't know why I painted it I hated staring out the same window months on end!
'Not on my watch'

acrylic on canvas 48"x 36"
I got really excited about flat areas of colour.
'Hospital hotel'

acrylic on canvas 46" x 40"
a very strange dream I had when in hospital!
'Steps'

Acrylic on canvas 50"x 32"
This was a photo taken by a friend i think in new York. It was such a nice image i managed to persuade them to let me paint it.

Acrylic on canvas 48" x 34"
This was one of my very first paintings in this style and medium. I spent a long time painting in oils in a very naturalistic style but it never really felt right. But after this painting everything changed and it still remains one of my favorites. It was this painting that gave me the name for my website and semi business name 'Mundaneart', I love the the mix of mundane and escapism this painting really summned it up for me, it just felt right! The figures in the painting are old freinds of mine from UN and will appear in a few more of my old paintings.
not another Beckham haircut'

Acrylic on canvas 40" x30"
Another old painting yet still one of my favorites, this one induced another development in ideas.
'Off the rails'

acrylic on canvas 80"x60"
This was one of the first really big paintings I attempted, it was in a series of 5 and they were all around 7ft by 5ft. This painting was the first of a strong narrative set, working with the idea of an open ended story provided by the viewer not the artist.
