Capturing the mood of a landscape is everything to me. I suppose the challenge is not to be distracted by the conspicuous but to look at the uniqueness of a location. As a landscape painter it is the mood conveyed that I recall about any location. Perhaps the obscurity is intentional,...I am far more interested in suggestion, mystery and ambiguity than in literate interpretation,...this is at the heart of my work.
All landscape painting is an attempt to capture a ‘sense of place', an elusive and fleeting moment. My chosen method to work is with water based mixed media,....initally a open background is established with multipul layers using sponges, rollers and stencils,... it is like creating a stage for the actors to then preform on in order to complete the narrative.
