Oil on Canvas

“Principally work in oils for my formal painting but I also paint semi- abstracts in water-based paint. My current formal painting have a romantic quality to them, a gentle timeless narrative. I don’t work to any given formula and this enables me to have more freedom to experiment with various methods and techniques. With my traditional work, I think of it as having a destination-I know what I want to achieve. With my abstract work, painting is a journey- there is virtually no planning involved. I use a subdued palette for these, with splashes of colour and I try to convey more of an atmosphere than with my more traditional work.”
