Biography
My background has mainly been in music , i was a freelance trumpet player mainly working on the cruise ships and seeing the world - After living in my sisters garage for over 10 years -suffering for ones art ! i recently took a trip to a friend who had just moved to Sicily and loved the light and countryside so as if by chance i found a place i could actually afford to own ! so now I'm living in a a small mountain village around 25 miles from Syracuse in south east Sicily .Its a little of a struggle not knowing the language - but i hope to get better ...Unfortunately things didnt work out in Sicily-now back in the UK
Art has always been my other passion, it wasn't long ago i decided to make a go of selling my Art . I've got a pretty good reaction, and so I continue to paint and always will.
Painting is such a love for me and I try to be honest to it , but it is always a battle between the eye and the heart with hope that a truth lies within .
I hope you enjoy some of my efforts.

Reviews and comments
I wish you creative success!
Thank you so much and i wish you too creative success !
It's a cat doing what cats do, but get past that if you need to, to appreciate the brilliance of this painting. Always a master of a Mondrian-ish Expressionism this work by Taylor epitomizes his gift for balancing competing elements in color, design, subject and narrative. This is why I am a fan of this artist's work.
I'm only one of the 170 people following Taylor on this site. Because i do, I get a steady stream of new delights popping up on this website. He has a sense of design and color and a reduction of form to its symbolic essentials that I wish I had the talent to imitate, (and I've tried, many times). I see his work as the equal of Picasso's during my favorite period in his career ... but I think Taylor's work is much better.
This is a good example of what I consider his best achievements, though I suspect the best may be yet to come. When I say, "best", I want to make clear, just about everything he does is excellent, just some are even more excellent than others.
Thanks so much Edwin !
Ravissant, très bien pensé, original, j' adore. J' aime beaucoup les chats. Pensées Poétiques. Sam de Beauregard
Superbe tableau, dans sa réalisation, j' aime les couleurs et le sujet. très belle oeuvre. Pensées Poétiques. Sam De Beauregard
Superbe création numérique vibrante de Vie grâce à cette dominante de bleu utilisée à très bon escient , Bravo l'Artiste !
Just went through the first 8 or 9 pages of Simon's art and saved a bunch of them. But I could have saved them all. This guy does great work. I am so impressed!
I love these. There are too many I love to pick out any one for praise, so I picked the first one I saw, but they are almost uniformly excellent.

Wonderful Art! I enjoyed your short bio...keep pressing on, and an abundance of blessings to you! luv~
Hello Simon,
Your painting is really beautiful; I know that painters do not like to be compared to other painters, but your painting reminds me of Matisse. In any case, I do like your style and this original creation is really wonderful … such as your "girl with cat and flowers" in my living-room ;-) Congratulations !
Simon, it was a great pleasure to see the gallery of your paintings. Your art is very finely and harmoniously intertwined discoveries of Fauvism and Expressionism, the ability to work with line and pure color. Your compositions are a perfect combination of romantic sensuality and monumentality in the best traditions of the art of the new century.
seriously amazing paintings simon. ive no idea where you sent your number!!! 07543440780
