Hello, I'm Joseph J Field answering to Jo.
I paint, draw, make prints and artists' books and live in a small village in Dorset, UK. I studied art post-retirement as a chartered civil engineer and local government chief officer.
If you are interested in purchasing work please contact me by email.
Copies of artist's books £45 - £60 including postage to UK.
Prints and paintings - check what's available and the price.
You will see images on this site in a range of styles and media. I have never settled to a personal style. I am always experimenting and the subject often dictates the way I will approach it.
This is a portrait of an old farmer who allowed me to take his photographic portrait as he sat on his ancient tractor in the market square of a town in Normandy.
Acrylic on Gesso Board. 20cm x 22.5cm
