Christopher Lane

Up until a few years ago Christopher Lane was my next door neighbour in the studio I occupied. I can still remember the smell of turpentine and oil paint which would drift over into my studio. From time to time I would be invited in to see some of his latest work. I was always amazed at the different techniques he would employ to get a final result. Softly spoken and colourfully dressed Christopher’s dedication and industry as an artist is underpinned by impeccable manners.

I miss my invitations to see his latest painting now that I have moved across the road!
