The grounds of the former ( now closed) DLI Museum, Durham in Spring. Texture and mark-making are significant elements in this semi-abstract painting.
My work is inspired by local landscapes, where I regularly walk. I usually paint with oils, sometimes en plein air.
I am interested in recreating the atmosphere of a place or walk at a given time, rather than geographical landmarks specific to that place. Weather conditions and light quality are of particular importance in my paintings which are typically people-less spaces. Stillness from contemplation, ominous skies, and distant hopeful horizons feature in many of my works, while others show movement through the landscape.
