This section only covers part of
the 1960s since I did not complete my studies until 1966. On leaving Glasgow
School of Art in 1966 I realised that I had learnt little technique and
no philosophy of painting.I therefore set
myself a program of ammending these lacks. This was encouraged by the
fact that along with Rolf Neilsen I had
booked a show for January 1967 and I was determined not to have any art
school work in the exhibition. I started on the program
of coming in from work and painting every night for about four or five
hours which lasted until I gave up paid employment
in 1986.
In my quest to impove my painting technique I was fortunate in having
Charlie Boyle as a neighbour.. Charlie was a contemporary at art school
but had served his apprenticeship as a painter and decorator before
going there. I will always be grateful for the advice he gave me at
this time. To see a sample of his work click
