Our Sky

Follow

The power mystery and beauty of nature is my main inspiration... rugged shorelines...menacing oceans...sandy coves where rocks keep guard over the secrets of hidden places..
Mountains towering over sun light pasture...dark dank twisted forests....spectacular clouds in stormy skies.

I choose to paint both in my studio and outdoors, , often with nature doing her best to challenge me with her weather vagaries..
My paintings are an emotional response to the landscape.....I explore as I work....I compose in a spontaneous way, making changes, adding thick impasto next to fine marks and sweeps of colour...I call my style abstract realism.
I work in many mediums... mainly acrylic and oils, but also charcoal, pencil..pastels etc.

The great Turner is one of my influences, but also Robert McFarlane and many other great painters over the decades.

I have sold my paintings through various exhibitions, open studios, and I have also had many commissions.

I am more than happy to create a painting especially for you..I have done this many times for clients.
