I hope my work celebrates the beauty and art of life and the emotional connections we feel.  In my paintings, I've wanted to touch on our feeling of who we are, where we come from, and what we care about.  Some of my work is about the sense of identity, home, history, love, culture, and the joys and hardships of life.

On this website my artwork is separated into three main sections ...

- Football programme artwork - football programme cover artwork that I've done for football clubs in England and Scotland

- Vintage poster style artwork - artwork done in a vintage poster style, with themes of football/sports, blues/music and other interests that involve type, words, letters, etc.

- Figurative artwork - paintings that focus on people, portraits and lifestyle

... more of my collage-paintings artwork (focusing on other themes) can be seen on my other website at -



Prices of original artwork range from around £100 - £1000 ... please ask about availability and prices for individual paintings.

If you'd like to get in touch, or if you have any questions or comments, please send me an e-mail at paineart@btinternet.com
