In 1985 he contributed a group of drawings to an exhibition of Six Young Artists at Agnew’s. In the autumn of that year he went to Venice for what proved to be the first of seven trips lasting for several weeks, responding to the time when the light: often gives the city a mysterious poignant quality. Over the years he has done many highly desirable pictures that capture the sense of Venice looking in on herself but since they sell rapidly, they tend to disappear without even a photograph as a record.
