ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I wanted to use the circular format to focus on a particular detail that I found attractive. In this case the sun falling on a golden leaf, providing a center of attention and making in stand out from the busy background. Continuing my search for a complete painting , I decided to paint a gold frame around it before finishing things off with a painted wooden surround. It took many attempts to get the background color and frame in harmony. Hopefully we got there in the end. It's all ready to hang. Thanks for looking.

Having spent 34 years as an illustrator and portrait painter, specializing in figurative watercolors for book covers and magazine stories, I am now a full time landscape painter. I spent much of this time living in Brighton on the south coast of England , however I decided I needed a little more space and a quieter time and 5 years ago I moved to a remote village in the Balkan mountains of central Bulgaria. It has been here that my love of trees and landscape painting has come together to produce the recent work here on this website. The “forestscapes” are my latest paintings. These are large involved works - all inspired by the woods that surrounds our house here in the mountains. It is usually in the fall , when the colors change, that I find myself most inspired. It is the time to gather as much reference for new canvasses which generally get completed during the winter months when the snow arrives and we hunker down. Please note that I now prefer to send all my paintings in a tube. This is so much safer for the painting. It means the rolled up canvas will need to be taken to a framers for re-stretching. This is a straightforward process , not very expensive and the painting can be framed at the same time.
