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”.
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.
Just reminiscing about this painting: Breaking Dawn
Just reminiscing about this painting ‘Breaking Dawn’ which was one of my first acrylics after switching over from pastels although both mediums still retain that soft, blended style I love.
Sunlit Breath the ideal painting for that small space.
My inspiration comes from nature but the interpretation is guided by my own feelings and a personal response to the mood, colour and sense of space in the light combined with my own emotional memories.

My large impressionist canvas paintings
My large stretched canvas acrylic landscape paintings are primarily impressionist in style although I often introduce the occasional abstract touch to add texture, energy and shadows to the light.
This stunning impressionist painting showing the beauty of the evening light.
Just as the sun dipped below the horizon its orb merged into an orange glow lifting the red peachy clouds into the soft blues and greys in the sky, whilst the landscape melted into the shadows.
Could this painting be yours………?
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……..
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.
North Downs, always an inspiration to paint anytime of the year.
An original small abstract landscape painting "Dew on the Downs", an acrylic canvas with blended brushstrokes creating light and texture depicting the North Surrey Downs, an inspirational area with very special light in the rolling hills.

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…….

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………
Three paintings capturing the essence and beauty of the South Downs.
These three paintings are part of an ongoing series inspired by the South Downs, where the landscape is vast and the views stretch for miles and there is always an abundance of views to draw creative inspiration.
Which one do you find yourself drawn to the most………
