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”.
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.
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.

Paintings from the North Downs at different times of the year.
I love painting the North Downs because there’s always different light to capture through the changing seasons whether it’s in the sky with those gorgeous blue tones or in the subtle reflections in the foreground.
Everyday feels different, especially at certain times of year when the sun sits low or climbs high or struggles even to break through shifting clouds.

A beautiful atmospheric painting: Autumn Mist
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.

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. Each shows the landscape at different times of the day in my unique abstract style, with bold brushstrokes, soft light effects, and rich textures to create a vivid and emotional view of the scenery.
