My interest is trying to capture the mysterious, mercurial nature of light, be it on land or water, in particular that exquisite, elusive, vaporous first or last light and the ephemeral luminosity of it. The absence of any human presence is a deliberate decision, lending a timeless, still, meditative quality, an attempt to transport the viewer back to a past millennia, an arcadian landscape, when our impact on the planet was more benign. My influencers are the magical and remote landscape of Ireland and the Peak District where I grew up. The under layers incorporate a gold pigment to catch the light as it moves and dances throughout the day. I then apply many thin oil glazes, each one dry before the next, to add richness, depth and movement. The painting is on circular birch wood and signed and dated on the back. No frame is necessary.
