The dimensions provided are for packing purposes; The dimension of the triptych is as follows: 3 panels each 97 x 97cm square and 4cm deep. The 3 panels would be packed by stacking them together, but to display them as a triptych I advise 4 cm between the panels making an overall width of 299cm. The panels might also be hung on separate walls. The work is based on scenes in the countryside around Oxford. I've tried to capture the fruitfulness of an autumn hedgerow with the rich dark colours of ripe fruit such as blackberries and elderberries, criss-crossed with strings of bright red bryony berries like beads amongst the golden and copper leaves.

Me, the artist - this is how I do it: Sometimes I work en plein air, but that’s not easy with large canvases, so I usually begin with quick sketches outdoors. I record the shapes, the colours, contours, shadows, the weather, the mood. I take lots of photographs. Then, back in the studio, I transform this collection of images and impressions into paintings which are semi-abstract in style. But then, all painting is abstract in a sense; painters abstract elements of colour, light and energy from the interplay of patterns before them. My technique, if you can call it that, allows me to achieve a tension between looseness and control, moving between spontaneity and deliberation. The intention is to make paintings that interpret the natural world - the sheer untidiness of it, from the summer exuberance of a herbaceous border in a cottage garden to the intricate assemblage of wild beauty in an autumn hedgerow. Portrait work is another matter. Making landscapes feels like working outwards, but when I’m making portraits, I’m working inwards – of course, I’m painting the effect of light on the surface of skin, a face or a hand – but in a way, I’m looking into the interior of the person to discover what's there, in effect, the interiority of the subject. I prefer to make full-figure pieces because this allows a greater narrative.
