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”.

Could it be the ideal painting for you……..

Stunning swirling colours and the warm tones of Evening Radiance

This is one of my impressionist sunset paintings and one of my largest at 102 x 76 cm, but it’s definitely a piece I really enjoyed creating.

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.

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.
