This is a set of paintings based on a destroyed painting completed in 1976. They are all done in my Manfred Wing style. He is a character I invented (remembering very little about me is real) who paints and appears in some of my stories – he works in a slightly naive surrealistic style which I came to by mixing Picasso, Chagall and Dali in the middle Seventies.

Some time ago now (probably 2005) a young friend asked me to paint a picture using mainly pink, orange and grey. She was rather dreamy but bright, girly and frothy and above all decidedly zany and I wanted to reflect this is in the work – or as it turned out works. I did a series of small paintings and then did further pictures exploring some of the ideas I generated in the first set. Most of them are presented here.
