From youth on I have had a passion for historical works of art and in particular paintings. Initially I collected for my own interest and in the past few years this blossomed into dealing in selected pictures.

I have a particular fascination with early British Landscape paintings. These are a record of what once was. A landscape before busy roads and wind farms, before the alien conifer plantations and ugly mass produced architecture covered much of Britain.

When you have a painting of this period it evokes a tranquility and stability into your environment, a sense of joy every time you contemplate it and the quieter times it was made in. These pictures were made in a time of reverence for creation and a belief in a greater good, this optimism, greatly lacking in todays world is transcended to us in these works in the same way as great literature music and poetry.
