What I Want to Do:


 
Take this kiss upon the brow!
I was born and raised in a small, remote northern Cornish village, near Callington , England . My artistic talents became evident at a very early age and following the completion of my education, my flair for creative work, inspired me to attend the Plymouth College of Art and Design, where I studied fine art. I became an accomplished artist and for many years was dedicated to painting Cornish scenery.

The journey of life, took me to Lincolnshire , where the change of landscape, from the swept and rugged swathes of Cornwall , with its sometimes daunting moors and craggy coastlines, changed to a bouquet of wooded groves, dimpled with streams, ponds and thatched cottages. These idyllic settings, often swathed in the midst of incandescent light, resulted in the furtherance of my artistic talents and an insatiable desire, to capture the quintessence of light, within my paintings.

As I progressed and my artistic techniques developed and broadened, I discovered I had a talent for painting still life. It wasn't long before I became influenced by the work of the Dutch Masters and the way they undeniably captured the warmth and romanticism: which are intrinsic principles of light. Although not confined to this specific medium, in the main, I now specialize in ‘Dutch Style' still life.

Despite all my travels around this country and abroad - which has inspired my past and current work; and now fuels the discerning insight, which fires my imagination – I still retain strong ties with my beloved Cornwall . The day will soon come, when I will return to my home town: there, to fulfil and complete the artistic circle of my life.



Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?


To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.

Your Rising Sign is Taurus You are the ultimate rock - stable and centered.
People turn to you in crisis and count on you for calm.

Stubborn and strong minded, you can't be pushed around.
You are also tenacious, and you always will stick with something difficult.

A bit fan of nature, you're attracted to the beauty of the outdoors.
And sometimes, you find it easier to relate to animals than people.

Choose something, and then put all of who you are into it.
Give it your absolute. Make it everlasting.
Place all that invisible force that comes from within,
and which we call life, into it. Place all this into that action.
Decide what it is you want to do and do it.
It is in that instant, in that moment full of promise
that your soul becomes one .
In that precise moment, you are.
