BRINGING GREAT ART TO YOUR DOOR!
The inspiration for the majority of my work comes from a, sometimes, accidental or sudden glimpse of the subject matter whether a seascape or townscape. The time of day, the position of the sun, the weather, all have a part to play in this regard, however the most important factor for me is the possibility of a story behind the image and this narrative thread stays with me and grows with the painting and, in a way, determines the outcome and influences the atmosphere of the finished work. My passion for capturing the effect of light, is, I hope obvious in the scenes of the towns and harbours which I have painted during my time spent in Europe and it is the same with the paintings completed in England, influenced by the South Coast and living most of my life in Devon. It is perhaps a romantic notion, but imagining a story with the painting I hope influences the finished work. Perhaps the spectator can find their own interpretation and weave their own story into my paintings. |
