I have been painting for many years, but due to work commitments in
the past it has only really been possible to seriously concentrate on
my art since 2000. I just love to paint and I am fortunate to live by
the sea and enjoy painting coastal scenes, many of my pictures have
water in them, some painted in Wales where I feel inspired by the many
rivers and waterfalls.
Whenever I go somewhere interesting I take
photos with the hope that I can do a painting from some of them back in
the studio. Although I love to paint in the great outdoors in our
climate for me that is not particularly appealing.
I paint whatever
interests me, but try to vary my work I don't like to get stuck in a
rut. Although I have painted in most mediums I prefer to use Acrylics,
I like strong colour. I hope that when others look at my work they
feel something that I have tried to convey when painting the picture.
