About
I paint Stock and also accept Commissions...I have Clients and Collectors in Europe, Mexico, the USA and Hong Kong.
Contact me on theartisthawkins@gmail.com or via the Contact form on the following page. It will be a pleasure to talk with you.
The meaning of life is to find your gift...the purpose of life is to give it away... (Pablo Picasso)
Art gains beauty...primarily thru money... (Andy Warhol)
The artist must train not only his eye, but also his soul...(Wassily Kandinsky)
Do whatever you do intensely...the artist is the man who leaves the crowd and goes pioneering...(Willem de Kooning)
Painting is not done to decorate apartments…it is an Act Of War…(Jackson Pollock)
You See What You See…(Frank Stella)
I guess that sums it up. For me, there is no distinction between art and life...as an Artist I had to come from somewhere...I didn't fall from the skies...therefore I acknowledge my influences.

Walked 11k and I’m a LOT happier than this Photo shows…! Good to be on the Homeward Trek though…😎🎨🙏🎄
11 Days to go so I thought I’d better join in the festive spirit…🎄😎🎨🙏 Image : Hawkins, 2024
…restrict my output - to an extent…I only paint in natural light so I’m lucky my Studio has a daylight roof…every season has a fascination but I welcome Spring with the longer periods of daylight…Photo (c) Hawkins, 2024. 😎🎨🙏
Midnite Call from a Los Angeles Gallery wanting to buy - not consign - 3 of my paintings…I’ve done the due diligence…it may be they have a collector and they are intimating they already own these…I'm cool with that…we’re all players in the Art Market…Putting the deal together on the Weekend…😎🎨🙏 Photo ©️ NAPA
I find I’m buying - and playing - more and more Vinyl in the Studio these days…the Uncompressed sound is wonderful…this was a bargain…my favorite Joni Mitchell album in perfect condition…cover’s a little worn but what the heck…! 😎🎸🎨🙏. Photo ©️Hawkins, 2024
Well, you know me and Warhol…this is a beautiful, as new, Taschen Hardback featuring Andy’s Polaroid Years…an unmarked copy…destined for the (overcrowded) Studio Library!…Photo ©️Hawkins, 2024
For some time now I’ve employed a - technically updated - version of Matisse’s working week…it goes like this; Sunday - Relaxation…Monday - Admin, Invoicing, Website, NFTs…Tuesday to Thursday - In the Studio…Friday/Saturday - Socialising. It all works fairly well as long as I’m just painting Stock…but when I’m working on Commissions it totally goes to hell…! 😎🎨🙏 Photo ©️Hawkins, 2024
Paint Audit…listening to White Vinyl…LOVE…from 1968…Wonderful sound from Southern California…Photo ©️Hawkins, 2024. 😎🎨🙏
