I see myself as kind of an old soul and a romantic at heart. The subjects I choose to paint have some sort of nostalgic calling - ordinary people doing everyday things at interesting places. Often the result is a moving painting reflecting the human comedy.I treat each painting as a scene on a stage. The people, usually drawn from the many photographs collected from my travels, are the actors. I position them to capture an easy to understand, usually happy, often emotional event. The interpretation of the scene through brushwork and a creative palette, results in strongly edited realistic images of the world reflecting life's interactions.Each painting begins with a careful study of it's composition. Then, through a evolutionary process, often with moments of spontaneity, the painting emerges from the canvas.Through the years I have been influenced by the work of the American and European Impressionists, and more recently by Hopper, Biberman, Ginsburg, Arsenault, and Andrew Wyeth, each with their compelling sense of mood, time, and place that describe moments of shared human experience.You, the viewer, are encouraged to engage your own unique thoughts, dreams, feelings, and experiences to complete the pictures in new and unexpected ways. Born in London, England, Worsley moved to the southern coast of California in the mid 1950's. Educated at the University of London, he had over fifty years in industry, before taking up painting in the mid 1990's. Though largely self-taught, he continues to study with several wonderful local artists.Always, with a strong desire to include people, he began with pen and ink, then watercolor, moved to gouache, and for the recent years has worked with oil on canvas. His work is widely exhibited. He is a Past President of both Santa Barbara and Goleta Valley Art Associations, a member of Santa Barbara Studio Artists, and was a Founder/Director of Santa Barbara Visual Arts Alliance. Currently, he lives and paints in Santa Barbara, California.
