This painting was commissioned by Wentworth Golf Club to commemorate the matches between two scratch teams from the U.S.A and the British Isles in 1926, played at Wentworth. It is over 10ft wide. All twenty competitors are in the painting, together with Samuel Ryder, various friends of mine and my great grandfather (who was a fine golfer and lived nearby).

To commemorate the centenary of the events depicted in this painting, limited edition glicée prints will be produced for collectors. A book about the historical context of this painting, written by the golf historian Alastair Loudon, will be included with each print. These will be available shortly. Watch this space.

The Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews celebrated its 250th anniversary in 2004. Amongst other paintings, I was commissioned to depict the dinner to celebrate this milestone, with its array of cups and trophies together with past and present Captains.

The Council of the Royal College of Surgeons. I decided to dispense with most of the furniture and included just the lectern, a few chairs, one desk, and a laptop. I staged the surgeons in animated groups, painting the scene as theatre and treating the frame as the proscenium.

29 Commando Regiment Royal Artillery asked me to produce a painting depicting their deployment in Operation Telic 1 (Iraq 2003). When using photos I prefer to take them myself. Of course, that was out of the question with this commission. I designed the painting with given photos from an embedded photographer creating a montage of some of his best images.
