Ian's Cover for new book by Dee Bixley

"Inside The Priory" was published in November and the reaction has been very positive.  The author, Dee Bixley, explains:  "By interviewing The Priory's psychiatrists, nurses, therapists, cleaners, gardeners and - most importantly - patients, I have tried to capture the personality of this world famous hospital.  One of the great joys is that Ian's son Shannon gave me permission to use Ian's paintings of The Priory on the front and back covers.  So it's as if my old friend is looking over the project, egging me on in his inimitable fashion."

Thames and nearby

We lived near the river, Ian would often be off before anyone else was awake to capture the morning sun over the Thames. We had Chelsea Wharf nearby, and Lotts Road with its junkyard, and these were also frequently painted.

As well as being a favourite subject of Ian's, these are some of my favourite images with the morning light flaring off pavements, silhouetted shapes and hulking figures in constant movement...
