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”.

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.
