ARTWORK ABSTRACT EXPRESSION The Abstract works draw intuitive expressive gesture from nature, responding with the senses, music and dance. Created using hands, brushes, feathers and whatever is needed, building layers within a moment. Not dissimilar to trying to paint a seascape with the weather and tide continually changing; it creates a certain pace and energy, that later can be worked into if so desired. View More PORTRAITS These portraits are created quickly as they are not actual commissions. They take about a day and are worked from photos. I prefer to work from life and to take a number of sittings to create a more lively gestural physical 3D response that relates more to my recent work. To spend more time considering a finished piece world please me greatly. View More LANDSCAPE The landscape is enjoyable to paint, form and light being the main attraction. The feeling you get when looking out, asking the question, ‘Why do I like this so much?’ Selecting the focal point in this way for each painting. There is a certain intimacy with the places I choose to paint. The paint application also becomes more interesting, creating depth with layers and textural gestures, sometimes to create likeness, sometimes to create feeling. View More
