THE QUALITY OF SPEED – INSPIRED FOCUS, ENTHUSIASTIC ENERGY CREATES THE CHARACTER OF MY DRAWING – THE FREE EXPRESSION OF ITS LINE – THE SPONTANEOUS DANCE OF THE PENCIL AND PEN . . . AND THE PATTERNED TEXTURE WITHIN THE AREAS OF SHADOW.
Drawings of our historical architectural environment – inspiration for our fascination of how our civilizations change through developments of building materials and engineering possibilities . . . and  our creative aesthetics and styles, together with multicultural contributions.We are amazed by the jig-saw puzzle of changes over 100 years and more, as we study an historical picture of a familiar urban landscape – location.
The extra size of these drawings on canvas with my character of expression, drama of vision . . . and the inspired exploration of all the formations of buildings with their shapes of shadows and plays of light, and also the intriguing poetic displays of company names and product brands – contemporizes these historic scenes that we normally have seen only as tiny photos in books.
This line of work lifts the past into our present as an expression or example of the nature of time – evidence of our  constant process of evolutionary change.

An exploration of a new technique of mine, using varnish-wash over pencils of various kinds in conjunction with colour-washes – preserving the dynamics of the first canvas-sketches and drawings that hold the spontaneous essence of every picture IDEA . . . free with no frills – the GREAT SIMPLICITY . . . leaving plenty of room for our mind’s imagination to experience the extra-dimensions of clarity of lines, depth of shadows, spaces of light
