self portraits
  
 index 

"Although as a painter I often find myself on my own, my reflection is a constant and curious companion. Because I work largely in the studio from observation, there is plenty of opportunity for me to scrutinise that reflection. When I am at a loss for subject matter I turn to the man in the mirror."

The results catalogue David's changing appearance from his days as a student in the seventies to the way he looks today.
