ABOUT

FORWARD
This site shows a range of figurative / abstract paintings in acrylic, painted on slate, canvas and board, the theme throughout is bathing or showering, sometimes dancing, athletes, sport, and Vitruvian man.  

SLATES/FRAMES
Slates can be new, modern, or composition, some are old and some very old, and may have old nail holes (some with nails), and may be trimmed. A number were acquired as Windsor Castle salvage following the devastating fire in 1992.  Similarly frames can be new/modern, in cases where old frames have been used steps have been taken to restore and/or refurbish them.

DIMENSIONS
Whilst steps have been taken to ensure accuracy of measurement, dimensions may in practice differ from that stated.

WEIGHT
It should be noted that slate is a heavy material and generally speaking the larger and/or thicker a slate is, the heavier it will be, so if weight is a concern  (my heavier slates can be in the 10/14 kg region) please don’t hesitate to enquire via the Contact page form.  Some of the larger pictures frames are also heavy.

SHIPPING
UK shipping costs are included in the price (unless specialist packing and/or crating is requested) although costs may be incurred for shipment overseas (please don’t hesitate to enquire).

HANGING LOCATIONS
Whilst my pictures hang in all usual places in the home I am often asked whether I would have any objection to my work (slates in particular) being hung in bathrooms/restrooms, kitchens, or gyms – the answer is no, I have no objection, in fact I applaud it.

INSTALLATIONS/COMMISSIONS
I am very happy to discuss ideas and to provide quotations.
