I became a self-taught painter at the age of 36 when living in a mediaeval
village in the French Dordogne.

Renaissance paintings are also very

Eric who? Eric Bogosian!
What do you mean you've never heard of him? Ah, well that's your loss, ain't it?
Still, there is a chance that you might have seen him and not even realised it, as he's
appeared in numerous US movies such as Under Siege 2 and Dolores Claiborne for starters.
Having said that, over in the US he's probably far better

Cash for knighthoods, offshore accounts for ministers, weapons of mass destruction
which never existed to name but a few.
