About My Art
I am inspired by the landscape , colour movement and mood are all parts of a picture which I aim to bring into my art. Sometimes I am a bit adventurous on colour other times the mood is soft or surreal.
My "modern style paintings" are often on deep edge box canvas, therefore not requiring framing. Some paintings are complete with frame others are sold without frame to make postage simple so please check the specification.
I paint in watercolour or acrylic using quality materials.
Often I sketch a subject and take photographic reference shots still to make further sketches before committing my painting to canvas. My first career as a photo litho artist, with the discipline of working to achieve an exact printed copy of the original, made a very good reason for me to aim to achieve, expressive art of my own. Nothing copied only inspired. Painting encourages the study of the subject, often I am still surprised at the things I had thought I had seen but I found on inspection different.
I enjoy my visits to the West Coast of Scotland. the weather can quickly bring a change of mood. I always come back inspired, wanting to paint.
