The Manchester Collection - After the Rain 2010

For the first half of 2010, I have based my work around the heart of Manchester City Centre. I spend time there drinking, socialising, the usual.

When the sun dies down in the city, the streets have a bitter sweet glow. These are some of my favourite scenes, I like how they respond to me like a set in a film.

I hope the paintings capture all this and more.

All other work is for sale privately, please contact me directly.

I have lived in Oldham all my life, there are many areas which I pass everyday. Each picture is a narrative of my life; the paths I ride along; the buildings that are etched into the background of my day; trees that I watch bend in the wind.

Oldham gets a lot of flack unfairly. I had to paint it and give it the nod of respect that it deserves.

My open night was held at Arcadia bar in Great Ancoats, Manchester.
