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”.
Continuing my abstract series of Spring paintings
I’m continuing my current early Spring series of paintings on canvas and paper which are inspired by the delicate, shifting light in the landscape at this coming time of the year.
I wonder which one is your favourite……….
My new little abstract landscape painting: Into the clouds
In this painting there are broader sweeps of colour and looser brushstrokes, so it is a much more abstract piece compared with many of my more recent works, conveying a more free and expressive mood, and allowing forms to suggest rather than define the landscape.
Can you imagine it in your own interior space……..

Three new semi-abstract landscapes have been added to my affordable art page. Painted on canvas, they use varied colour, tone and fluid movement to capture the light and atmosphere of the setting sun.
All so different. Which would be your favourite…….
Discover your next favourite small landscape painting.
Small paper paintings really relax me, especially between or after painting larger canvases. I enjoy the spontaneous use of colour, the freedom of the brushstrokes and experimentation and following unexpected twists and turns in textures. I often use oversized brushes even for the small scale of the size of the painting which creates a loose but really effective result.
One of my favourite abstract landscape paintings: Cold Clouds
I often revisit older paintings for inspiration and I love this small abstract landscape for its expressive brushwork and the calm, peaceful mood the blended colours create providing and inviting some quiet reflection.
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.
Take a look and see which one would be your favourite……..
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………
Today’s beautiful sunset painting is: Sunset Descent
This new sunset painting is from a series exploring the early light of winter sunsets. It features a beautiful combination of warm tones and textured brushstrokes, which conveys the hush and gentle warmth of a descending sun.

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.
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.
My new beautiful but cold landscape painting: Snow in the sky
One of my very different landscapes capturing that special light on a cold winter’s day……………….
This painting is still one of my favourites.
‘Ochre Sunset’ captures that fleeting, magical moment when the last light of the day gently fades away giving rise to the rich bold colours and deep shadows of a truly unique and captivating sunset.
Take a closer look and explore more about the beauty and essence of this stunning sunset………….
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.
Imagine this painting in a space in your room.
