This graceful almond tree stands alone in a large field, its blossoms practically on every branch. It is normally surrounded by sheep but not this year so i decided to yet again, paint it. It is the first to bloom and certainly the most beautiful, this tree inspires me each year. I hope that the viewers will think of Spring as they regard this painting, rebirth, new beginnings and the anticipation of Summer. That they will feel the fresh earthy and unpolluted air in this region, note the different colours of wild grasses growing around the tree and the soft tones of the landscape behind it. I painted this tree from a few metres away in the Spring sunshine listening to the bees settling on its pollen. The scent pervaded the air as I sat and used my pastels to convey this image. Pastels are so good at capturing a painting quickly which I needed to do before the light changed.

I was born in Scotland of Polish parents , we moved to Kent in England when I turned three years old. Painting and drawing from an early age I developed a deep love for nature. My early Kentish landscapes would depict trees, horses and wild flowers. My connection with the natural world grew, light and colour became more predominant in my work. With my pastels I found that I could replicate the texture of the poppy or iris flower, with my oils I could transfer the canvas into a wild, living and breathing field of wild flowers. A fresh start later in life by moving to the South-West of France, Tarn-et-Garonne, found me completely immersed in the gentle, undulating countryside. My paintings consisted entirely of landscapes and the flora and fauna of this wonderfully un-spolit region. Later, moving to Provence in the Var, still in France, I became inspired by the light of this region constantly changing along with each season. I continued painting along similar themes but introduced ancient buildings made of local multi coloured ochre stone, domestic animals, customs and traditions all of which play a large part of the life here. By painting 'en plein air' capturing the beauty, sounds, scents and emotions of a landscape requires one to be alone with nature, to communicate with it and to observe. One has the impression of being guided, being lifted into an eternal space which can find and re-juvenate the soul. My aim is to capture the endless beauty of this inspiring region, in effect, to show the world 'my Provence'......
