Artist Graham Pope

I never really planned to become an artist although I loved drawing as a child. My mother went to Camberwell School of Art but ended up a housewife and her father was a frustrated artist who finally abandoned his family and went off to Paris to paint. I was much more sensible - studied for a business degree in the States and, after a spell in the Army Air Corps, spent my entire working life in the UK motor industry!
Now I am retired I find myself drawn inexorably back into making pictures whether anyone else wants to look at them or not and we live in a little village in South Cambridgeshire where I can now concentrate on developing my painting.
Having built up a portfolio of several hundred pictures, shown some in exhibitions and even sold some originals & prints, I felt it was time to expose my works to a wider public and here they are - the good, the bad and the ugly! All that these paintings have in common is that they have been triggered by some urge to capture an image or emotion on paper (or canvas).
Some of my pictures are straightforward attempts to record a scene or mood, as an ex pilot I love skies and clouds, while other works are influenced by great artists of the past or my admiration for the old Japanese masters like Hiroshige, 19th C. Impressionists and the 20th C. abstract expressionists - so for all their faults there is no lack of variety!
Thank you for taking the time to look at my work and I always try to reply to any comments or questions.
