Bernie is well known for his large paintings of Breton dancers, with many held in private collections in the U.K. and in France.
My paintings are mainly of Breton festival dancers in Brittany. I like capturing the unwitting actions of people doing something, often seen in unusual light, to create dramatic imaginative narratives, that evoke curiosity and empathy, finding unpretentious, sometimes awkward body language, more expressive than anything posed.
I like following French Realism but find problem solving and application of paint more appealing than seeking exactitude.
I practice good craftmanship and only use the best tulip wood stretchers, oil paint, and professional framing, to ensure museum quality.
