After the harvest

I am a self taught artist and I enjoy using acrylics. I have always enjoyed drawing and now I use my natural skills for drawing to outline my subjects before the paint hits the canvas. My natural style is realism but I avoid trying to paint anything too realistic or replicating a photo or digital image.

I have been honing my painting skills for the last 15 years practising a wide-range of subjects and genre including landscape, portraits of people and pets, and various forms of still life.
I have always admired the artists of the post impressionist style and in particluar Paul Cezzane. I particularly like the black outline in his works which I see in my own works.

Over the last few years, I have found myself drawn to surrealism. Surrealist works tell a story, are a commentary on life and require imagination to construct. Surrealism requires alot of thought to construct the message to be conveyed. I have been growing and developing my style over the last few years to include surrealism in my portfolio of works.

My paintings tend to have strong outlines and colour, which I use to create a perception of depth and dimension. I believe my style is original and a style that keeps the observer interested. I think my best paintings are in the surrealist genre and I will continue to improve over the years to come.
