Fox and Nude


Colin left england for morroco in a van painted with flowers with a hells angel and an ex guard from buckingham palace all hair and hippyness, a very interesting 4 months and he missed Hendrix by a week out on the coast.
Since his return in 1970 he's been to London as a picture reliner, then Cornwall to live on the beach and in a cave in St Ives, leaving England again 2 years later to travel. Coming back to London he was employed in the mid-seventies as a frame maker, making pop art frames in perspex, aluminium and welded brass.
It was an experience of a lifetime, to watch and handle Warhols,
Hockneys,and most of the big pop artists pop artists while making
their frames ,as youthful as he was, he was lucky enough to absorb
the experience.
He continued to work sucessfully until at 50 yrs old he felt something was missing from my life so, became a painter.

"I have, in a sense been a painter all my life , recording brush technique colour sense design and preparation from the early age of 9 or 10, when I first noticed these things in my mother's nostalgic view of the past.
My painting style has for some reason reverted to the style I
formed at college in 1968".
