This show had a huge impact on me as it brought together many of the best young portrait painters working at that time and Brendan was one of them

His figurative oils and drawings have always fascinated me

it is her urban landscapes that I find astounding

There is so much life in this painting

Michael Taylor Black & White This show had a huge"I love the writing of PD James and the music of Sir John Tavener, and Michael has painted portraits of both.
