This is the menu from where you can surf the to various galleries, that I prepared for this web site.

The various subjects

Landscapes, portraits, the figure, still life and drawings; using oil, acrylic and pastel. There is a limit of seven pictures per gallery in an attempt to make it accessible also to those without Broadband (ADSL).

From time to time, I shall show the creation process of particular works, thus hoping to communicate to you the frustrating labours, self-doubt and many joys of being a painter.

When Earth's Last Picture Is Painted

When Earth's last picture is painted and the tubes are twisted and dried,
When the oldest colours have faded, and the youngest critic has died,
We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it -- lie down for an aeon or two,
Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall put us to work anew.


And those that were good shall be happy; they shall sit in a golden chair;
They shall splash at a ten-league canvas with brushes of comets' hair.
They shall find real saints to draw from -- Magdalene, Peter, and Paul;
They shall work for an age at a sitting and never be tired at all!


And only The Master shall praise us, and only The Master shall blame;
And no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame,
But each for the joy of the working, and each, in his separate star,
Shall draw the Thing as he sees It for the God of Things as They are!
