Autumn Landscape Paintings

Throughout the days of Autumn I regularly go out exploring field margins, nature reserves, hedgerows and riverbanks to actively appreciate, observe and respond to the seasonal changes in nature through drawing.

I am particularly interested in using landscape as a vehicle to explore mood and emotion through colour, texture and form. Each scene seems to also reflect an inner landscape, from tangles of vicious brambles and incandescent autumn foliage to serene tones of glittering water.

Using large sheets of paper and high quality pigmented chalk pastels I draw with freedom and energy to capture the mood of the moment.

These drawings are partly inspired by the legacy of other British landscape artists whom I admire; such as Lucy Jones and David Hockney.

The paintings I create are usually made by translating the drawing studies into paint on canvas using layering methods in acrylic and oil paint.

Sometimes I work in acrylic directly from nature; this tends to be on smaller scale pieces.
