Portrait of The ArchitectMixed media on hardboard
All right, so I don't actually look like this, but it's the closest you're going to get, and it did start out life as the site plan for the Semi Earth Sheltered House Project. Perhaps it's the architect striding out against all odds in search of those qualities of form, function and originality, whilst maintaining a fitness of purpose.
John With CanoeAcrylic on hardboard
Another abstract, another architect. Someone I worked with a long time ago, painted from an old black and white photo. John was, and probably still is into boats and canoeing.
RickAcrylic on hardboard
And to complete the architectural trio, Rick relaxing in front of a pin-up calender. I wonder if either of them will ever speak to me again!
Mr Dhillon and Mr Bhullhar Take a Walk in the ParkMixed media on chipboard
Another architectural based painting. Not architects this time though. They were the adjoining owners to a small infill housing evelopment I designed. Their names were in my old sketchbook, and years later I drew an abstract design around their names which eventually became this painting.
