Shifting light and expressive brushstrokes.
Introducing one of my archive paintings from my collection that combines contemporary impressionism with bold abstraction evoking the shifting light and textures of the landscape.
Today’s landscape painting is: Radiant Clouds
I often feel that capturing the atmosphere of the landscape and a memory and mood are more important than precise detail.
The palette is predominantly neutral with warm undertones and the brushwork a mix of confident, broad and delicate layers.
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………..
My latest landscape painting: Sunset Melody
This new painting, ‘Sunset Melody’ is part of my latest collection in a series of beautiful, evocative sunsets painted in my semi-abstract style capturing the fleeting and poetic mood of evening light.
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.
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.
Today’s sunset painting is: Sunset Soul
I love to capture the true essence of a sunset, as each one seems to possess its own unique and captivating personality.
The way the colours blend and shift creates a moment that feels both fleeting but deeply moving.
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.
