| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
Initial inspiration for painting came from early studies of the impressionists, post-impressionists and the work of Turner. Generally my paintings stem from a variety of diverse landscape seen when travelling within Australia & to Europe.
The range of work covers a diversity of mood and interpretation of the landscape, people and light. Ranging from the vivid light effects seen in paintings of Mont St Michel & Sydney Harbour to the muted tones of the Scottish highland as seen in Eilean Donan. |

| Your Personal Biography |
My painting has developed more intuitively rather than from a well thought out plan of aims or intent. At one stage like many others, I did intend to create an artists statements of aims & work towards it. However, when I thought about I did not know where I wanted to go. I did not know enough to know what the destination was - I still don't.
I have an interest in many things and great enthusiasm for the expression of painting. So I found out what works for me is not about planning a journey but making the discoveries whilst on the journey. Like any journey one will hit dead ends, but will also find places and people who open eyes and minds.
I enjoy nature & some landscapes stay with one for ever. My landscapes are nearly always of places that I have been to and remember well. I think that one can continually keep re-expressing landscapes (or elements of them) in different ways to capture what makes them stay with you. It may be the light, the shape, the colour, the smell, the feel of the sun that attracted, but whatever it is - it is a memory or feeling of something (perhaps intangible) in the past that drives one to portray an image in the present.
The aim of these paintings is to capture a sense of the colour and ambiance of the area, rather than an absolutely literal representation of a particular place. Sometimes they are painted literally. but others go back to memory and the feeling ones has now of that memory.
