Chris Whittaker
I spent 4 years at Bournemouth and Poole college of art and 30 years in advertising so having never done a proper day's work in my life I decided to retire and paint.
I paint leaves and foliage and all the messy chaotic bits of nature.
All the paintings are oil on canvas.
I won the The Worshipful Company of Painter Stainers Prize at The New English Art Club Exhibition.
A selected finalist at the National Open Art Competition.
Short listed for the final judging of the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2009
Shortlisted for the final judging of the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2018
I have paintings in collections in the U.S.A, Germany, Canada, Italy, Geneva, New Zealand, the Channel Isles, London and all over the U.K
