Much of my work is in acrylic and represents landscapes and seascapes with loads of sky. Acrylic is great as it dries quickly so lends itself to fast spontaneous work allowing me to layer paint both using palette knives and brushes to achieve the effects I'm after.
I enjoy experimenting and learning as I explore what can be achieved with the acrylic paint and how it combines with other materials and mediums. I tend to work on several pieces at a time which gives me the freedom to allow paintings to emerge as I layer paint over a gesso base and scratch/sand/rub back to reveal lost layers without overworking them. I paint on a variety of substrates with board being my preferred surface as it provides a robust and firm base for palette knife work.
As well as the original artwork below I also have a selection of unframed original work plus a limited selection of cards also available to purchase.
