Geoffrey Playford

Painted from a photograph of my late father, Geoff Playford. Dad was a keen dinghy and yacht sailor having become an excellent navigator in the RAF when he was a flying instructor teaching fighter pilots during World War 2 in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe). I think I have got his face too red in this painting if I’m honest but it’s a good likeness as I remember him in his late 80s.

I am a painter of northern landscapes and of the sea. I'm an established artist in the north of England but I'm also known more widely with for example my TV participation in the SKY Portrait Artist of the Year competition.
