I have received many requests to donate commissioned paintings to various charity organisations. Please understand that I cannot accept all requests. I will, at this present time, accept 3 charity request per year ( subject to change). Each painting I produce can take weeks to complete, not forgetting draught paintings,previews, discussing sizes,format,photo shoots,etc.....so, a lot of time, planning and questions are involved. I need to get your painting right! If you are planning a charity event and request my services, please book well in advance. If I cannot accept your requests or complete a donated painting in the time allocated, please accept my apologies in advance. I will do all I can to complete artwork in the agreed time. Please also take into account that I am disabled and will not always feel well enough to accept new commissions.

What is Naive? Many people ask me this question. Here are a few answers that may help you. Naïve art is a classification of art that is often characterized by a childlike simplicity in its subject matter and technique. While many naïve artists appear, from their works, to have little or no formal art training, this is often not true. (Wikipedia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Na%C3%AFve_art We are also often called 'Folk' and 'Outsider Artists' copy and paste this link to see an example of other Naive artist work. http://www.outsiderart.co.uk/naive.htm Related Words for : naive art outsider art, primitive art, self-taught art, vernacular art. naive art noun a genre of art and outdoor constructions made by untrained artists who do not recognize themselves as artists [syn: outsider art] Naive is pronounced nieve.

Back in September 2009, I was accepted as a member of the Association of British Naive Artists (ABNA) What a huge honour! This is a very small and special group of artists in the UK who paint in the Naive style. Beryl Cook & Brian Pollard paint in the Naive style if that helps! http://www.britishnaives.co.uk/ Here you will see some wonderful art by Naive artists.

Plymouth Twestival Twestivals are being held all over the world to raise money for different charities. I submitted an artwork titled 'Run From Fear', to be auctioned in aid of this years charities. Martin Bush an awsome Abstract Artist,was very kind to accept this painting to be added to the auction. Martin has his own gallery at the Royal William Yard, Plymouth. My inspiration for this particular painting came from the horrific results of the recent earthquake in Haiti and the floods of Madeira. I deliberately painted the horses with textured paint to represent the crumbling of these beautiful countries and to show a sense of cold, stark reality and of a harshness of what should be beautiful. I hope someone who attends this Twestival will fall in love with this painting and bid high! Celebrity auctioneer Graham Barton to host Plymouth Twestival auction This will be an awsome event so please tell your friends and come along! You can see the painting in question in my Acrylics Gallery.
