artist: Craig Barker artist: Colin Taylor

For over thirty years Colin has been painting in
a style that was inspired by the London School
of painters. His love of nature manifests itself in
early work and his passion for walking in remote
mountain areas. However, Colin also has a
knack of painting the urban lansdcape too.

One commission enabled him to observe
Manchester from a helicopter which helped him
produce a bank of work on a high rise office
building in the centre of the City. Recently he
has been working on other projects like the
paintings he created of the inside of the famous
Royal Exchange theatre.

Here we see Colin’s style with quick wash, pen
and ink work, these will become eventually fully
worked up paintings, which I look look forward to
viewing in the not to distant future.
