Cotswold Winter
For over forty years my interest in painting has continued to flourish and I have continued to experiment with various techniques and mediums. I also studied Art and Photography to advanced levels through college courses and developed skills in various media and subject matter. I now concentrate on oils and acrylics and occasionally use an air brush to produce out of focus backgrounds in my wildlife paintings.
I have held a lifelong passion for walking in the countryside of England, Wales and Scotland which I try to reflect in my work. I endeavour to capture the varied and ever-changing lighting conditions which make the scenery in the countryside so spectacular. Mountains are particularly close to my heart and I enjoy using various media to represent their majesty. Equally, I like to paint the beautiful scenery provided by the Norfolk landscape where I have lived for almost 40 years.
My wildlife paintings are inspired by my studies of the works of Carl Brenders, Robert Bateman and Daniel Smith who not only capture the animal in exquisite detail but also the habitat. It is the small details of mosses clinging to old stone walls that intrigues me, these are the things that inspire me to pain, but many would just pass by without a glance!!

As well as landscapes and wildlife, I have recently started to paint still life with its various colours, forms and textures, again it is the small details that intrigue me and the light upon the subjects.
I am a long-standing member of the West Norfolk Artists Association, and the Wash Group, I exhibit regularly in the Norfolk area and also enjoy passing on my skills and knowledge to budding artists, having taught in many workshops on the use of oils, acrylic and pastel painting.
