About Clive

I am an amateur artist, recently retired, having just restarted my art in lockdown. I was born in London, and have spent all of my life here. I studied art at school, but my career path took me to the retail world, which didn't allow me much time over the years to pursue other interests. Lockdown allowed me a 'dress rehearsal' for retirement, and a great opportunity to restart my painting.

Being mainly self taught, and having only ever previously worked in watercolour many years ago, I have only recently started working in oils. I love the ability with oil paint to be able to rethink a piece as I am working, change a little light here or colour there. I love to paint detail, and the challenge to discover new technique. I enjoy painting landscapes and animals, mainly from photographs I have taken myself on my many travels. You may see the odd still life in there, and possibly anything else as I continue my artistic journey. I will also now be undertaking Private Commissions, so do please contact me if that could be of interest.
