GENERAL INFO

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), some may be trimmed, some have edges which can be fragile and care is advised when handling as may flake. Some of the older slates were acquired as being from Windsor Castle (in the UK), salvaged after the fire in 1992.  Similarly, frames can be new/old/modern, and where pre-owned steps have been taken to restore/refurbish.

DIMENSIONS
Whilst effort has been taken to ensure accuracy of measurement, dimensions may in practice differ from those stated.

WEIGHT
Slate is a heavy material and generally speaking the larger and/or thicker any given slate is, the heavier it will be, so if weight is a concern  (my heavier slates can be in the c.10 - 16 kg region) please don’t hesitate to enquire via the Contact page form.  Similarly, some of the picture frames can be heavy too.

PAYMENTS
All payments are processed securely through Squarespace.

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 ask).

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’ve no objection, in fact I’m all for it.

INSTALLATIONS/COMMISSIONS
These vary, examples can be size to fit wall space, pairs or more or even series, painted (slate) shower interiors, swimmimng pool surrounds, conservatory walls … I am open to discussing ideas.

PATRONS
