A perfectly balanced still life lithograph of a vase of tulips with their associated symmetrical reflection on the table beneath, the background kept simple to allow the composition of beautiful tulips to shine.

The fifth of six children his parents encouraged his artistic experimentation. He went to the Bradford College of Art 1953-57. To fulfil his national service, he worked in hospitals as he was a conscientious objector to war. Then in 1959 he was accepted into the Royal College of Art, Graduate school in London.
