Looking Back – And Looking Forwards

I’ve just made a couple of posts on Instagram and Facebook about how I’ve used objects to make paintings about my family .

In ‘The Rashamon Effect’ [2014) I  used my grandmother’s quizzer as part of a story about lost love.

On display in’ Museum Piece’ (1984) are two toy soldiers which I bought for our daughter when she was born but my wife wouldn’t allow her to touch  because they were made of lead!

I am thinking of using them again to represent two of my three grandchildren in my next painting ‘Twas The Night Before’. I need to find a third model to complete the set.
