About The Artwork

On a few visits to Argentina I went from Buenos Aires into the countryside to visit farms. It was on one of these farms that I saw the gauchos, the cowboys who are responsible for herding cattle and horses, showing off their prowess on horseback. I decided to collect a few images to build into a story. As I have always loved experimenting in monochromatic imagery having started photography in the days of film and having had my own darkroom for a while, I decided that this subject, and the two related images that I have produced, would make a nice collection that capture a glimpse of the gaucho lifestyle. The prints were made on Hahnemuhle matte photo rag paper, a paper I like to use for monochrome fine art prints. The print is 10 inches by 12 inches including a one inch border all round, making the image itself 8 inches by ten inches.The Edition is limited to 5 of each of the three prints, plus one artist’s print that I have given to one of my daughters in compensation for putting up with me for a few months. This is numbered 1 of 5. Print numbers 2 to 5 will be sold at a later date. No more prints will be produced of these images. The prints are shipped in a cardboard tube with a certificate of authenticity.

Birds. And Nature. These are the subjects that inspire me. At an early age I loved exploring hedgerows and streams. Teeming with diverse life, they fascinated me. My appreciation of flora and fauna broadened, through travel, to include birds, plants, animals and insects, though birds were always special. I am a British artist and photographer based in Brazil. My nomadic life began in Libya, where I was born, and has taken me to live in 15 countries on 5 continents, visiting 40 or more other countries in my lifetime. Places as diverse as deserts, rainforests and the concrete jungles of city life have been home to me. I remain a keen traveller focusing on commercial Travel / Food photography and writing in addition to painting.  While most of my paintings are in watercolour I also paint in other media. I would describe my style as loose/tight as I like to balance a degree of looseness against the detail found in the key elements of a bird's genus. My aim is to make them recognisable while retaining an element of artistic impressionism.
