Sinking Sun Painting

When I first picked up a brush at the age of 14, I knew I was a painter. I have been passionate about painting ever since, an artform which human beings have used since prehistoric times to express how they feel about the world around them. I started off painting portraits, and other figurative paintngs, but now I concentrate on landscapes where I can freely abstract what I see to better express the feelings I have for a place. My current series of paintings, called "Horizons", emphasises the notion of the horizon, the merging of land or sea into the sky. In this series every brushstroke becomes a horizon in itself, the juxtaposition of lines and colours creating the expression I am after.
