Snow Oak Silence - Limited Edition of 20 Photograph

I work with a variety of creative mediums, including, digital painting & illustration, location and studio photography, traditional watercolour & gouache painting, and pencil & ink drawing. I frequently combine elements from several disciplines, as the finished image dictates. I have never been a purist. The end result is what matters to me. By scanning my original paintings & drawings I am able to overlay a variety of computer digital techniques to further enhance my work. My Ltd Edition mixed media paintings are created from the finished computer artwork in this way. My more illustrative work is strongly influenced by the traditions of impressionism & pointillism (Claude Monet, George Seurat & Gustav Klimt) ------------------------------------------- Based in beautiful Nidderdale, North Yorkshire, I derive much of my creativity from my local surroundings. Many of my paintings and photographs are inspired by my local landscape & artists - such as the poet Ted Hughes - whose inspired portrayals of this rugged Northern landscape accurately capture the essence of the natural world I have come to know and love. ---------------------------------------------- My landscape photographs try to convey the silence and wonder I sense in the countryside throughout the seasons. I am particularly fond of the Winter months and love to capture the transformative natural beauty of snow, frost and ice. Although I rarely include human forms in my imagery, whenever I do, they are designed to show the strength and majesty of nature's elements and it's supremacy over mankind. ---------------------------------------------- My paintings explore the spirituality and essence of nature itself. My woodlands and forests are brimming with secrets, shaped by the seasons and weathered by the elements. My night-scapes are windows into the soul... full of faith, optimism, and a life-long yearning for knowledge. Star and moonlit skies filled with magic and wonder. --------------------------------------------- As a published artist, my photographs and paintings already feature across a broad range of brochures, magazine and book covers. ------------------------------------------ Images are exclusively available through Saatchi Art as special low volume high quality limited editions of 20 medium size and 10 larger size. (I am happy to list the larger size for purchase by request).
