Some subjects lend themselves to a Composite treatment for reasons of historical development or
because they treat the life of an individual, the latter I class as Pictograms and I created a Painting on
the life of my Great Grandfather who rose through the ranks to be a Captain of many Sailing ships but
ended up in a Workhouse and an early death.
The Paintings here show the Village of Windmill and its raison d
etre, as a Lead mining Village together with the Flora and Minerals associated with Lead Mining and
the hard lives led by Miners. The Painting of Florence Nightingale I loved creating and apart from her
monumental Character that I grew to love as I worked on it I enjoyed the necessary detailed research
that gave insights into a life of devotion, together with many surprises, such as the 40 years that she was
bedridden , her command of many languages
and the lasting influence that was celebrated in the Centenary in 2010.
