Penang Window

The Malaysian island of Penang has some fine traditional architecture particularly in the old Georgetown. I spotted this window in a shop house with carved timber fretwork, shutters and hanging lantern decoration. The Frangipani is another interesting element. the figure is observing life quietly.

A self taught artist. I don't restrict myself in media and styles.I enjoy painting in oils, acrylics, gouache and watercolour. I have an affinity for capturing moments from places I have been lucky enough to travel to. Often developing paintings from plein air sketches I have done in the field. Whilst I enjoy contemporary realism and impressionism I will sometimes stray into the realm of pure abstraction. Convincing portrayals of light and colour are usually my main goals. Subject matter can range from the grand to the mundane and quirky.
