My work is primarily contemporary landscape
painting, creating light filled atmospheric canvases.
“Mine is a contemplative intuitive approach, an attempt to portray the essence of the land rather than a figurative representation of it”.
Frequently the initial inspiration for paintings comes simply from gazing up at a light filled canopy, the magical effect being almost that of stained glass, a cathedral canopy.
I use the time honoured traditional method
of glazed oil paint (paint built up in thin layers)
which best utilizes the paints translucent
qualities to create subtle depth of colour.
Though a very lengthy process, each painting
taking many months to complete, it produces
a wonderful rich glow. A technique employed
by the Old Masters.
I am often asked how the works are made and
are they photos or prints or digitally enhanced?
No, I do not use photography, computer graphics,
printing processes or tricks of any kind in
creating my paintings. They are simply painted
in the traditional method with particular care and
attention to subtle changes of tone and colour.
Enjoy!.
