Artwork
David is also a keen artist, having studied Art to A-Level standard. He opted for a career on the green baize rather than the white canvas, but in recent years has rekindled his passion for painting. Here he talks us through some of his pieces including a step by step view of how a painting comes together.

IZZY (2011)
"This was one of the first pieces I did after I started painting again. My niece Izzy was around 12 months old at the time, I came across a great picture of her and simply had to paint it. I left the eyes until last, as they are always the hardest part to get just right, but I think I got there in the end."
NEIL ROBERTSON (2012)
"This picture was done for a very special cause. In 2012 I was invited to attend a fundraising day in York for a young boy who had a brain tumour. Blaise was very ill and one of his wishes was to go to Disneyland. We held an auction and Neil signed the painting personally for the winning bidder (see below). Tragically, young Blaise passed away but I am honoured that the painting helped in a small way towards getting him to Disneyland."
STEVE DAVIS, PAUL HUNTER, STEPHEN HENDRY (2013)
"These are three portraits that I did for my club the Northern Snooker Centre in Leeds. After almost winning the bid for the Neil Robertson picture, club owner Chris Williamson was so impressed he commissioned me to do three more paintings for the club, which can be seen in the newly refurbished back room. Legend Davis even signed his own picture when he visited the club in February 2014."

ANATOMY OF A PAINTING, JOHN HIGGINS (2013):
"It is very satisfying to see a painting come together, particularly with the layering technique that I use. Below are some photos taken throughout the process of creating one of my paintings." Please click on each image for a brief description.
