WinterSunset

My paintings are inspired by nature. Often it is the wonderful British countryside, from peaceful pastoral scenes to dramatic cliffs and coastline, that moves me to paint.  Trips overseas are also a rich source of material - the huge snow-capped mountains, crystal clear rivers and alpine meadows of New Zealand, azure seas and Roman ruins in Italy. My aim is to show more than "just" the view however. I want my paintings to convey a sense of time and place -  the time of day, the weather, the light, how it would feel to be there.  More than ever I am motivated to portray light and mood in my landscape paintings.

Portraits are also inspired by nature, of course, and I believe that a good portrait can show more of a person's personality  than photographs often do. I love the many challenges of portraiture: getting a likeness, of course, but also the excitement of capturing something of the sitter's essence.
