I have grouped the paintings according to subject matter on different pages, named, for no particular reason, after each of the Marx Brothers.

Here’s what’s on them:

Harpo (3 pages) contains paintings of pubs and bars in Manchester.
Chico (2 pages) contains paintings of more panoramic views of Manchester including skylines.
Zeppo (3 pages) contains paintings of some of the many squares in Manchester.
Groucho (2 pages) contains paintings of miscellaneous scenes. including festivals in Manchester.
Karl (3 pages) contains paintings of specific buildings.
Gummo (1 page) contains paintings of places other than Manchester such as Gothenburg, Sweden.
Minnie (1 page) contains paintings of Manchester Streets including some of characteristic red-bricked, terraced housing.
Trams, (2 pages and so-called on account of running out of names of members of the Marx family) contains paintings of Manchester trams and tram stations.

You can click on any painting to enlarge it; this is recommended if you want to appreciate the brushwork or detail in each painting.

I hope you enjoy looking at them!

I apologise for not keeping my News section very up to date. I'm usually too busy painting! I have decided to put the most recent news items here on the home page so that it is more easily accessible for anyone who may be interested. The actual news page will still remain and will include these and older news items as an archive. 

Rhapsody in Red Brick

A collection of 27 mostly brand new works are to be exhibited at The Portico Library & Gallery, 57 Mosley Street, Manchester, M2 3HY Tel: 0161 236 6785, www.theportico.org.uk from Thursday 1st May (private view 6-8pm) until Thursday 29th May 2008. Admission free. Although most of the new works are scenes of Manchester in my usual style, although on larger 50x70cm canvas rather than the usual 40x50cm, some of them are more experimental or show a more narrative subject matter. More info about the exhibition can be found here or in the April edition of the Portico Quarterly Magazine (PDF Doc.) on page 5.  

In Autumn 2007 a selection of stills of some of my paintings of Manchester scenes were used in a music video by the gradely, up and coming, Manchester Indie band The Tides. You can see this video and find out more about the band at their Myspace page. http://www.myspace.com/thetidesinfo The video with the paintings is called ‘Edit’ and is about half way down the page on the right. It was made by Buzz Fuzz. Alternatively, it can be found on YouTube at the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7yTgkHKNgQ
