Architecture and Cityscapes

Here are a selection of galleries displaying paintings inspired by a variety of locations some of which I have visited on my painting holidays. I have found alot of inspiration in buildings ruins and monuments. As per any creative challenge in depicting city scenes and capturing architecture it is always a balance between creating mood atmosphere and architectural precision.

Location based painting and studies.

I have spent a lot of time observing ruins and old mountain villages and painting on location during my painting holidays . A video capturing a demo in the Lycian Ruins of Turkey and the Andalusian and Medieval Ruins in Spain. I use the opportunity to take reference material and create abstract compositions. I often use the iPad as it is ideal for working on location. Plein Air observation work and recording of ancient ruins. Many of the locations visited with my painting groups form the basis of my own work.
