‘He had spent a lifetime here’ 2018 This art-piece is an oil-on-canvas board and depicts a stone built outhouse that now lies undisturbed and idle. The Artist conjures up the image of times past when this spot was central to everyday life in the countryside and was the hub of activity in the community. He imagines the man of the house, busy all day long every day, in all weathers, doing all his errands there, making and mending furniture, chopping wood, sharpening tools and repairing bridles, saddle-bags and harnesses for the donkey, and chatting with neighbours and friends. That blue door would be opened first thing in the morning and wouldn’t close again till the light faded.
