Landscapes
Landscape painting is for me is such an opportunity to convey an emotional response. My process is about feeling and the intention in my art is about conveying the emotion of place. The underlying skill and technique is secondary to the use of colour and my landscapes seek to be lyrical featuring an underlying musical theme as I relate tonal values to musical compositions with rhythmic brushstrokes. The subconscious mind is the storehouse of all our experiences and my art aims to evoke emotional responses in the viewer immersing them in the painting so they view the painting through their own personal interpretation.

Abstract landscapes
Landscape inspired by travel
A decade of being an artist /art tutor on various painting trips in Southern Spain, Greece, Turkey, US and the UK I have derived an emotional response in my art. My process is intuitive as I envisage a scene which begins as a series of fault lines and gestural brushstrokes and ‘fleshing out’ the painting as if working from the inside out. Many of my paintings begin on location, based on sketches carried out during various painting trips and the full sensory experience reflects in the final result. At times I describe urban views as landscape in a myriad of loose brushwork and colours.
Country scenes
Paintings inspired by walks in Gloucestershire my UK base. I also take groups out walking and painting with small holiday providers and my work is often influenced by other UK landscapes such as the Yorkshire Dales and Cornwall.
Watercolours
Paintings inspired by my trips to Spain, Turkey and Greece. Some of the art is the basis of a demonstration for an art trip.
