Rainy Day. View of Parliament. London scene (Thames, from under Hungerford Bridge)) Painting

I am a passionate plain-air painter: painting outside, on location, is essential for creating my landscapes. To capture the feel and spirituality of the moment I have to work fast in plein air before the scene changes and often have to return to the locations several times to directly observe the scene and study the light and colour variations: photographs are a poor substitute to a live impression. I also paint still lives, especially flowers, and figure compositions. Similar to my landscapes I usually paint while directly observing the subject and creating multiple studies to bring genuine emotions onto the canvas.
