Sunlight breaking through the clouds: Sunlit Lustre

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.
