Studio View Blog: Latest Artworks, News and Inspiration.
This Blog ‘Studio View’ is a regular update of my new work, upcoming exhibitions, some work in progress images and photographs of what inspires me to paint.
My work is all about the ever changing light in the landscape.
“Atmosphere is the sensation directed upon the viewer, whereas mood is the actual feeling provided”.
Impressionist painting with blended tones and soft subtler brushstrokes.
I painted this after waking very early one morning and watching how quietly the dawn evolved, each subtle shift in colour in the air interpreted in the brushstrokes and the quiet and cool light evolving the palette resulting in a rhythm in the painting.
Continuing my abstract series of Spring paintings
I’m continuing my current early Spring series of paintings on canvas and paper which are inspired by the delicate, shifting light in the landscape at this coming time of the year.
I wonder which one is your favourite……….
A beautiful small selection of abstract and impressionist landscape paintings
See a small selection of my abstract and impressionist paintings in various sizes and click on a category to view more, then take your time to find a painting you really love to perfectly suit your space, or give as the perfect gift to someone special.
My new little abstract landscape painting: Into the clouds
In this painting there are broader sweeps of colour and looser brushstrokes, so it is a much more abstract piece compared with many of my more recent works, conveying a more free and expressive mood, and allowing forms to suggest rather than define the landscape.
Can you imagine it in your own interior space……..
Stunning swirling colours and the warm tones of Evening Radiance
This is one of my impressionist sunset paintings and one of my largest at 102 x 76 cm, but it’s definitely a piece I really enjoyed creating.
I wanted to capture that dancing sky of endless sunsets, where colours appear at different times and rise upward, topped by a soft, glowing horizon.
A constantly moving scene.
Lingering Sundown is one of my more affordable beautiful abstract paintings.
I often find it helpful to place a smaller painting in an interior setting so I can better imagine how it will look at different dimensions and within a variety of room layouts, lighting conditions, and alongside different furniture and décor.
Each painting that I sell I will be donating 10% to the Alzheimer’s charity in loving memory of my Mum.
North Downs, always an inspiration to paint anytime of the year.
An original small abstract landscape painting "Dew on the Downs", an acrylic canvas with blended brushstrokes creating light and texture depicting the North Surrey Downs, an inspirational area with very special light in the rolling hills.

Three new semi-abstract landscapes have been added to my affordable art page. Painted on canvas, they use varied colour, tone and fluid movement to capture the light and atmosphere of the setting sun.
All so different. Which would be your favourite…….

Small paper paintings really relax me, especially between or after painting larger canvases. I enjoy the spontaneous use of colour, the freedom of the brushstrokes and experimentation and following unexpected twists and turns in textures. I often use oversized brushes even for the small scale of the size of the painting which creates a loose but really effective result.
Sunlight breaking through the clouds: Sunlit Lustre
Each of my paintings seems to develop its own final personality. Some reveal their radiance straight away whilst others require time, some quiet reflection and a fresh spark of inspiration before I know they are truly finished.
So it is sometimes a quick journey but more often a slow but satisfying one.
One of my favourite abstract landscape paintings: Cold Clouds
I often revisit older paintings for inspiration and I love this small abstract landscape for its expressive brushwork and the calm, peaceful mood the blended colours create providing and inviting some quiet reflection.
Three beautiful atmospheric landscape paintings
These three atmospheric paintings share a similar warm colour palette yet each remains wholly unique, carrying its own story, mood and distinct visual elements.
They’re all inspired by winter sunsets capturing the shifting light and mood with rich colour, layered texture and subtle atmospheric depth.
Take a look and see which one would be your favourite……..
New painting: Sunrise Ascent
This new painting was inspired by some of the recent winter sunrises we’ve been having when soft morning hues and the light ascends gently over the landscape, casting a calm, luminous glow across the fields and distant trees.
It’s a very calming painting and would suit any interior space………
Three paintings capturing the essence and beauty of the South Downs.
These three paintings are part of an ongoing series inspired by the South Downs, where the landscape is vast and the views stretch for miles and there is always an abundance of views to draw creative inspiration.
Which one do you find yourself drawn to the most………
Today’s beautiful sunset painting is: Sunset Descent
This new sunset painting is from a series exploring the early light of winter sunsets. It features a beautiful combination of warm tones and textured brushstrokes, which conveys the hush and gentle warmth of a descending sun.
