The River Wye, Summer Painting

I am an artist who works directly in Nature, outdoors in front of the subject, returning every day until the painting is completed. My paintings have a rich evocative use of colour, a physicality of paint and a spatial depth that capture the solidity and transitory effects of Nature. I try to understand the substance of reality...to find the infinite within the realms of the finite and to express this profound spirituality of the subject in paint and colour. The paintings are painted in a realistic-impressionistic manner akin to landscape artists of the nineteenth century.
