Summer
Blue Firs
On summer evenings the fir trees at the edge of the water take on a blue hue and in the evening sun reflect strong and colourful shadows on the water. This piece is a pastel painting; the vibrant colours and soft edges are a perfect medium for this subject.
Walking through Woods
I often walk through the woods and in good weather take my sketchbook. In summer the abundant foliage gives me the opportunity to work in a loose, painterly manner, enjoying watery layers , experimenting and playing with marks and textures, giving life and vitality to the subject.
Dahlias
I always have flowers in the studio, to draw and paint from them and just because I love them. I keep them way beyond their life span because they provide another source of drawing matter as they fade and dry. Dahlias do keep their colour and make amazing shapes as the dry out.
White Chrysanthemums
I always have flowers in my studio particularly during Lockdown and when I could get them. They remind me that whatever happens around us nature continues and seasons come and go. I often paint them as they are beginning to fade, they produce wonderful shapes , colours and texture.
Summer Field
I am out walking on most days and this is where I get my inspiration and observations from. Throughout the seasons and at different time of day, the light changes and this can alter a familiar landscape to something new and exciting. I try to translate the atmosphere and quiet corners of fields and woods into my paintings. I want Summer Field to have a sense of calm and peacefulness that I felt on that day.
Water Lilies
In the summer months the light filters through the lilies and reeds creates strong shadows and reflections. The lines and curves are almost abstract in appearance and they create stunning compositions for the artist.
