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.

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.

A beautiful atmospheric painting: Autumn Mist
This painting has always been a particular favourite of mine, because of its moody atmosphere and light that evokes a deep sense of calm and atmosphere.
Unlike some of my other paintings it is not vibrant or bright but instead beautifully serene.

Today’s sunset painting is: Sunset Soul

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……..
New small painting on paper: Windswept Autumn
This small painting is free and livelier than many of my other paintings with energetic brushstrokes and brighter colours. Working on paper lets me experiment since the paint dries so fast, making me more spontaneous but thoughtful in layering colours for a dynamic but balanced result.
Its perfect to brighten up any interior space………

New painting: Mist on the Downs
This painting reminds me of cool, foggy autumn days with the soft, gentle light of the setting sun filtering through the mist. The atmosphere feels calm and peaceful, creating a serene ambiance that is perfect for enhancing the mood of any room.

Still one of my favourite small paintings: Ochre Sunset
This acrylic painting shows a hazy Autumn sunset with soft yellow and pink clouds in the sky. Bright colours glow on the far horizon, while dark shadows stretch over the green landscape. ‘Ochre Sunset’ captures the brief moment when the sun sets, spreading a light mist over the hills as warm Autumn colours hang in the sky.
Could this become one of your favourites too?
How three sunset paintings can be so different…..
‘Sunlit Lustre’, ‘Ochre Sunset’ and ‘Gilded Sunset’ show the brief moments when the day's last light fades, giving way to the mesmerising colours and deep shadows of a sunset.
Each painting presents a different view, highlighting the unique beauty of every sunset.
