Welcome to my Poppy patch.

As the word 'Artist' has a high brow connotation to it and I prefer to see myself more a craftsman.

My task is to utilise tools and equipment to panel-beat ideas into pictures that cause me pleasure and hopefully interest others into noticing the work involved to achieve the result.

Influenced by the Semitic roots of the country of my birth, Inspired by the space and colour of my Australasia adoption and awed all the multi-cultural scents and tastes from decades of world-wide travel one hopes to weave the inherited and the experienced into an understandable image.

Originals are never sold but copies can be bought from other sites.

Be free to comment on my work. Be cruel, be kind but always be genuine, more for your own self-respect than for my comfort.

My work is mostly pencil, ink and watercolour.

I hope to amuse you.
