Jules has been drawing and painting for twenty years regularly attended art courses in Stroud,  Devon and Cornwall.   Learning to draw and paint has helped to better understand the history of art.    The images are influenced by the local landscape of Dorset as well as travels in Europe and Asia.  Artists' whose work has been most influential include Picasso, Anselm Kiefer and Barbara Rae. Like the picture above of 'Storm' many are abstract and made using mixed media including acrylic paint, ink, pastel, charcoal, fabric, paper, bitumen and clay.  The search is for ambiguity and paradox in a visual image
