St Paul de Vence, oil, 231⁄2x231⁄2in (60x60cm)
During the summer the evocative ports and promenades of Cannes, Nice, Monaco and Saint Tropez are areas where I can be found capturing the scene. In spring Paris is my destination – you might see me with my easel in the Jardin des Tuileries in the heart of the 1st arrondissement – here dalliance with the brush is such a joy. It’s the beating heart of the city.
Many years of painting in Paris have left their mark. I have painted the stations and boulevards, the cafés and bridges; every subject is a challenge and a delight. Perhaps the most surprising aspect is that in Paris I am treated with great respect – the French have a place in their hearts for the painter.
