This painting is on a heavily textured linen canvas, which lends itself to the dramatic imagery of the trees portrayed. It was a late winter day, whilst walking from Loughrigg Fell in Cumbria, that I saw these beautiful trees looming at me from the road. They were at a slight height above me, which increased their drama and power against the sky. The had been struck by lightning at some point and some parts of them were fragmented. Their sharp, stretching limbs and branches seemed to express their agony from the strike. Almost reaching out to grasp on to the sky whilst writhing in pain. At least, that's how I saw them. This was the inspiration for the work and I hope the viewer can relate the way I have tried to express the qualities of these wonderful trees on that day.

I am a recently retired Art teacher and have been painting more seriously since 2005, although I originally trained as a potter. My original idea as a young foundation student was to train as a painter, but I got involved with clay and it took me in a different direction. I was Director of Specialism in a large school, which was nationally recognised for the arts. I have had numerous and successful exhibitions of my studio ceramics over many years. I have also had several exhibitions of my paintings at local art galleries in the NE and in Cumbria and I am currently working on a range of landscape paintings, which I am endeavouring to submit to on-line galleries and local galleries, such as the Biscuit Factory in Newcastle. I have worked with many well known artists over my career, such as Nahem Shoa and the internationally renowned Takeshi Yasuda. I hope to establish a higher profile and extend my painting vocabulary through sights such as Saatchi Art. I live in NE England and I am inspired by local and rural landscape and the disappearing industrial landscape of northern England. I also enjoy travel and have visited Italy many times, which is for me, a perfect place to be inspired.
