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”.
Shifting light and expressive brushstrokes.
Introducing one of my archive paintings from my collection that combines contemporary impressionism with bold abstraction evoking the shifting light and textures of the landscape.
My new impressionist painting: Morning Shimmer
This luminous contemporary impressionist landscape brings a serene yet invigorating presence to any room with soft, layered brushstrokes creating depth and light.
Discover some of my beautiful landscape paintings from large canvases to small works on paper.
The selection shows cohesive contemporary impressionist and abstract landscapes, painted with a careful palette and assured brushwork that balance mood and form.
Lighter, airier canvases add calm and scale to large rooms and smaller, textured pieces add warm focal points to cosy corners, hallways, or studies.
Here’s todays selection of beautiful paintings
You can see here a wide range of styles, some more abstract than others and some a little more impressionistic. It just depends on your taste and what would suit your space.
Which one would be your favourite……….
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.
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.
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.
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……..
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………
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.

One of my favourite paintings: Molten Sunset
I really enjoyed painting this small canvas (40 × 40 cm). It seemed to flow effortlessly with my favourite music playing, using a single brush that I kept moving around the surface, rarely lifting it or pausing to wash it. The continuous, intuitive approach gives the work a pleasing abstract impressionist quality that I find very satisfying.
