Character Paintings

The best character paintings are produced by having good background research. In the case of the painting for Joanne and Neil Gilfillan, the bride's sister provided excellent stories, photographs and detailed information. All working towards producing a more pleasing and personal end result.

Influences

My strongest influence would be my father, artist and teacher William Lees. My earliest memories are of me sitting beside my father sharing his paints and the view that he was painting.

Later influences would certainly be the work of Joan Eardley and the Australian artist Ken Done.
