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”.
This painting was inspired by the North Downs, Surrey
This small study was inspired by the North Downs in Surrey, created as a spark of inspiration for a larger canvas. I often paint a series of smaller works to gather ideas and remain spontaneous and on this occasion I was exploring shifting seasonal light and the subtle reflections it casts across the landscape.
A selection of spontaneous abstract small paintings on paper.
If you’re looking for a small painting that bursts with spontaneity, movement and gorgeous colour combinations capturing the essence of the landscape in a very tactile way, you’ll find pieces that fit that description perfectly.
Take a look and let me know which one is your favourite — I’d love to hear which speaks to you.
A beautiful new sunset painting available for sale
You can see all the colour detail I’ve put into this painting on the horizon — from the bright orange glow through the delicate flecks of white to the softly blended red tones that rise gently into the sky, creating subtle shifts of light and atmosphere.
Paintings from the North Downs at different times of the year.
I love painting the North Downs because there’s always different light to capture through the changing seasons whether it’s in the sky with those gorgeous blue tones or in the subtle reflections in the foreground.
Everyday feels different, especially at certain times of year when the sun sits low or climbs high or struggles even to break through shifting clouds.
