Gerry Thompson
From the day that I picked up a brush my passion for painting has never diminished. I am inspired by subjects with a strong contrast between light and shadow, combinations of natural and artificial light, unique textures, close-up perspective, or even interesting colour combinations. My finished works are realistic in style; my method of creating is to paint abstract shapes
