In 2014 aged 39 I completed a limited edition retrospective book documenting the first part of my artistic development. This image featured in it as part of my self styled Uberpainting genre. It's a style that is unique to myself. I know of no similar watercolours on this scale using this extended process. Each image is created to assist the viewer in re attaching themselves to a distant memory associated within a similar landscape. These paintings are all places we all have seen or dreamt of. These original watercolours work in theory in the same way as a screen print. They are constructed using between 3 and 5 simple flat washes applied individually and in the correct sequence. Every line has to have a maximum impact. They take many weeks of repeated trial and error to design to this level of simplicity requiring repeated studies until the final painting is resolved. It’s painted on Saunders Waterford 425gram Rough with Winsor&Newton artists watercolours. The painting comes signed and delivered rolled unframed. I find that a variety of frames and styles will suit it. The key is simplicity the painting will do all the talking, glaze for protection. The detail image is taken at an angle.
