National Army Museum: one of my best ever paintings can now be purchased as a fine art print at the National Army Museum in London, you can buy it on line from the NAM's website. Im so chuffed. 'The Fourth Man' depicts 3 soldiers patrolling the narrow medieval streets of Kabul looking from mine. The fourth man's perspective. A great painting which captures the movement and heaviness of the equipment carried. The chaos of a Kabul street. 2 PARA was the first British Battalion to enter Kabul and help create a safer environment in order to allow normality to grow. The Tour for us was a great success.
Project in Basra, Iraq I have recently been serving in Basra with 20 Brigade and re-deploy back to the UK in the last few months. I have had a great time there, my third tour. Basra and Southern Iraq are very different places to what I remember from my previous tours. The markets are full of produce and the people appear happier, I have been painting and drawing for many units there and was commissioned by The Royal Tank Regiment and 20 Brigade to record the final 'Iraq tour', a very historical time for the British Army. I will be publishing my work on this site shortly, you will be able to view my paintings and drawings straight from the front line
