Frank who had been a keen painter in his youth took up painting again after retirement from the NHS swapping a scalpel for a paintbrush.

He is self taught - that’s art not medicine!!

An admirer of Turner and Impressionism most of his ‘dawbs’ are landscapes particularly as he isn’t very good at portraiture [but he is getting better thanks to some patient friends!]

He works mostly with acrylics as the quick drying means rapid composition and the brushes can be cleaned with tap water rather than chemicals!

Frank’s home studio is small [see photo] and if he ever sells any work he will save up to buy a hut in the garden!!
