GREAT INTERIORS
Exhibition dates
3rd - 21st November 2015
21 Bruton St, London, W1J 6QD
I have been working on the paintings
in this exhibition over the last two years.
They concentrate on what has been
a constant theme for me - an endless
fascination with interiors both for what they
tell us about the people who inhabit these
places even when they are not there and
the curiosity aroused by half-seen glimpses
spied through windows and doors.
The mystery of the not-quite-known
is forever enticing.
