I have always enjoyed drawing, but it was only when I moved from London to the West Country in 2011, I had the time and space to pick up the paintbrush too.
So followed an art foundation course in Salisbury, watercolour classes near Gillingham, Life drawing in Mere and oil tutoring in Stalbridge. Always learning and busy!
2022 has been a year for pleinair and moving my newly acquired easel around the countryside. Whether it is Dorset, Wiltshire, Cornwall or places I have been on holiday with my family, I have tried to capture the wonderful scenery with realism and tonality. My colours may have changed but my appreciation of a good view hasn't!
Animals, plants and still life are still being painted, mainly in watercolour and anything that inspires me I paint.
I have been concentrating on my oil painting but oil pastels are creeping in with colour!!
I hope you enjoy my artwork and do DM me with comments as it is always helpful to have feedback.
