Norfolk Puddles Painting

I was born in London in 1963. I moved to Cambridge in 1995 and settled there. In 2005 I moved to San Diego US for nearly 3 years. After many years pursuing an alternative career I returned to painting eight years ago.I explore impressions of landscapes using rich layers, texture and bands of colour. I seek inspiration from my travels; particularly by road as the car window provides a perfect painting frame. I strive to achieve an impression of calm, open spaces that tempts the observer in. Most of my work starts from a sketch or photograph and I layer paint using traditional techniques, waiting for layers to dry, glazing and finally varnishing. I paint on stretched canvas, wood and canvas paper. I do not make prints of my work -I would like people to own a painting where only one exists.
