How I Work Ideas for landscapes come to me through walking. My drawings and photographs record the particular views that interest me In my studio I narrow the images down to a single landscape view. I draw or paint a watercolour, sometimes both, as preparation for a particular landscape. The demands of the composition over accurate typography are paramount. Sometimes I square up the drawing and then transpose it into the canvas or board. But often I freely interpret the drawing. The colours used and the quality and of the light are critical to the creation of the mood of the painting. The finished landscape is a feeling about a particular place at a particular time. My still lives come about though wanting to paint an object or group of objects: a wooden box, a group of onions, a strange pot of flowers. I move the objects around until they cohere into a strong unified composition. I then follow the same working process as in painting the landscapes. To me landscapes and Still Life complement each other. The former is continually trying to expand, the latter is enclosing, narrowing down. They reflect a satisfying range of mood and feelings at different times. They fulfil different needs. A Brief Biography: I was born in west London and educated there. I attended the Ealing School of Art and trained to be a teacher at a training college. I finished my teaching career as a deputy head teacher of a school. I have always painted and drawn, gaining particular inspiration from landscapes I have encountered; through traveling in the Southern Counties of England. Besides my passion for painting my other interests are reading, theology, swimming, walking and gardening.
