When I draw or paint I try to respond in an immediate way to keep a subject fresh.
I want interesting marks, that suggest movement and capture a mood. I do not want a photographic representation.
I work mostly with water based mediums, enjoying the translucency.
My subject matter is inspired by the natural world: sea, rocks and coastline, flowers and foliage, animals and birds, particularly wading birds where there’s humour to be had.
I also enjoy the discipline of life drawing which trains the eye to see shapes within a shape and to observe how shapes are manipulated by movement.
