A small selection of paintings on canvas and paper inspired by the British countryside.
The landscape paintings below capture my unique contemporary impressionist and abstract style, all in acrylic with varied brushwork, luminous colour and subtle texture.
My new spring series of landscape paintings
I replicate energy through expressive brushstrokes, subtly recreating the sense of atmosphere found in the shadows along the horizon and in the ever shifting, changing light of the sky.
One of my seascape paintings
It is painted on paper so I had to be a mix of deliberate and spontaneous with the brushstrokes as the paint dried so quickly. You just can’t work the same way as you would with canvas where you have time to blend or add colour.
Here’s another small abstract painting: Sunburst Morning
This painting is a very spontaneous piece that I always gravitate toward when the artwork is smaller. I particularly love the bright yellow brushstrokes, the lively interplay of colour and light, and the rich texture that gives the surface a tactile, expressive depth.
Would this fit your space………..
Sunlit Breath the ideal painting for that small space.
My inspiration comes from nature but the interpretation is guided by my own feelings and a personal response to the mood, colour and sense of space in the light combined with my own emotional memories.
Could you find a place for this 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……….
One of my favourite paintings: Molten Sunset
I really enjoyed painting this small canvas (40 × 40 cm). It seemed to flow effortlessly with my favourite music playing, using a single brush that I kept moving around the surface, rarely lifting it or pausing to wash it. The continuous, intuitive approach gives the work a pleasing abstract impressionist quality that I find very satisfying.
Three quite different paintings but all painted with the same landscape in mind.
These three small original abstract landscape paintings ‘Windswept Evening’, ‘Mistral Sunrise’ and ‘Evening Rain’ are inspired by the North Downs in Surrey. Each shows the landscape at different times of the day in my unique abstract style, with bold brushstrokes, soft light effects, and rich textures to create a vivid and emotional view of the scenery.
See this painting in an interior setting and imagine it in your own space……..
