oil painting

I barely remember a time that my eyes didn’t follow the ragged edge of a old pine against the sky, a reflection in a puddle or an early morning mist rising from a lake. Over the years, I’ve turned my hand to a number of other subjects, but it’s the landscape that is a constant source of visual interest. My aim is to convey the beauty I find, often in ordinary every day scenes, and elevate them to something extraordinary. Nature doesn’t need much help – nudge up the intensity of colour here, deepen a shade there and suddenly late afternoon shadows sweeping across a cornfield become something magical.
