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.
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.
My new painting: Sunrise Vista
This painting was inspired by the North Downs as I continue my series capturing the changing light across the vast landscape at different times of the year. The view stretches on and on, revealing more and more depending on the season.

Here’s another small abstract painting: Sunburst Morning
This painting is a very spontaneous piece that I always gravitate toward when the artwork is smaller. I particularly love the bright yellow brushstrokes, the lively interplay of colour and light, and the rich texture that gives the surface a tactile, expressive depth.
Would this fit your space………..
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.
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……..

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.
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………
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.
A selection of spontaneous abstract small paintings on paper.
If you’re looking for a small painting that bursts with spontaneity, movement and gorgeous colour combinations capturing the essence of the landscape in a very tactile way, you’ll find pieces that fit that description perfectly.
Take a look and let me know which one is your favourite — I’d love to hear which speaks to you.
