art by gordon fraser

Every picture tells a story. Gordon the artist at 54yrs old was inspired by Vincent Van Gough. “I paint in an untutored way to illustrate not only life’s philosophies but to use my imagination as well”. The artist will accept offers mind the cost of everything concerned hopefully around £100 each.

Keith Jones the Bassist

Keith Jones the Bassist

An old friend of the artist. The painting started off as a portrait of Eric Clapton, the pop guitarist but changed because Keith Jones had similar birth stars to Eric Clapton and as the painting unfolded as a work of art, the artist realised something psychic about it all and Keith Jones’s portrait was the result.
