| Alan Mynall |

Born 1949 in Rugby, Warwickshire. After a few years of being a full-time hippy, decided I wanted to paint after all. That was about thirty years ago. I'm beginning to get the hang of it now. I am devoted to such unfashionable concepts as beauty and love.

| About the Artist |
Always wanted to make images of the people, places and things around me and in my head. Portraiture is the most fascinating endeavour. Each person is such a unique and improbable phenomenon. Trying to explain a painting is like trying to explain a joke - pointless and embarrassing - for both parties. |
