Growing up in northeast London Keith T Francis sketched extensively, yet only began painting seriously later in life. 

Now based in Buckinghamshire, UK, Keith works exclusively in oils and watercolour.

He is unashamedly a realist painter specialising in portraiture, marine and London cityscapes. Light plays an important part in much of his work.

His paintings hang throughout the UK and elsewhere. 

Keith Francis has exhibited with groups at locations across Buckinghamshire and London.  He has also exhibited at the Royal Society of Marine Artists Annual Exhibition, the Mall Galleries London, and was also selected to exhibit at the Hampstead Art  Society annual exhibition at the Fitzroy Gallery in London.  

His portrait commissions include a portrait of the sculptor Andrew Sinclair MRBS sculpting the David Bowie statue. This painting was exhibited at the statue’s unveiling  in 2018.
