statement
I
describe my work as 'Painting Nature’, as a direct response
to my immediate surroundings; exploring colour, composition
and expression yet maintaining the very traditions of
British painting. Making sketches as well my own
visual notes I paint intuitively and expressively with bold
sweeping brushstrokes that sum up whole passages of my
subject. Painting on location and in the studio, I
often rework paintings intuitively to produce a completed
work.
