If you encountered Dahlia Lounge by chance, this is a destination to view fine art photography, original paintings and limited edition prints. Contemporary art in an independent gallery of clean lines and black spaces.
At the heart of it is my devotion to : things offbeat, unusual or retro; fashion photography of the 1950s and 1960s; the surreal imagery and vivid technicolour of some 1940s and 1950s films and TV; fairgrounds; favourite places such as Portmeirion and San Francisco; flowers, peace, gardens, statues, altars; portraits with lush, exotic backgrounds. My portraits of Amy Winehouse and Emma Peel are part of this series in Paintings in Oils.
Dahlia Lounge Illuminates is my blog illuminating hidden gems I find. My ebook Cool and Retro Guide To San Francisco is a treasure trail of magical splendour about the most cool and interesting places in the city.
