Maurice Dolphin: A Painter's Life
Maurice’s flat in Bishop House doubles up as an artist’s studio from where he paints his large scale portraits and landscapes. “I was born with a brush and pencil in my hand”, he said, “and although I don’t have a particular favourite artist, the type of academic painting I favour is in a similar style to Franz Winterhalter, Frederico de Madrazo and William Bouguereau.”
In his bedroom, several canvases stand stacked together, some unfinished and some completed and presented in ornate frames.
