Artist's Statement

Although I do also work with water colours and drawings, the majority of my work is in oil paint, and where I feel most at home. Over the years, I have become familiar with what is possible with this medium, and I still find that oil paint provides an almost staggering range of effects that can be achieved along with its application, eg brushes, knives, rags, fingers etc.
The starting point for all of my work invariably comes from nature. Whether the subject matter is a portrait, a figure, flowers or a landscape, all that evolves must come from what is before me. After that, I can, and do, choose a variety of processes to produce the painting.
When painting portraits and figures, I feel compelled to stay with the integrity of the form, as I don’t feel that I could improve upon it. My interpretation of the landscape vacillates from realism moving towards abstraction. The pictures are always done plein air, and then sometimes reworked in the studio. I am more concerned with getting the feel of the experience than with representational or photographic correctness. Therefore, the main pictorial elements I use in landscape painting are colour and tone and a variation of the paint application. The ambient light, of course, dictates the entire picture, regardless of subject matter.
