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”.

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………..

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.

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.

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.

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………
