Introduction In 2001 I embarked on a second career as an artist and started a Fine Art Honours Degree at Bath Spa University that I completed in 2004. Over the 3 year period I made 150 paintings as part of my course work and these are presented in this book. Looking back they make difficult and embarassing viewing for me; among the naivety and ineptness there are only a few that I can still bear to look at. However, for better or worse all are included to serve as a reminder of a journey started and how a few of the works provided themes that I went on to develop further and still work with today.
