Atmospheric paintings of landscape and marine subjects in Oil and Acrylic  using sketches for reference whenever possible.

Still life set up in the studio.

I enjoy the interplay of light, shadow and reflection and my interest in working boats usually at rest on the mud in an estuary or in a busy harbour provides the opportunity to convey a sense of atmosphere in my paintings by exploiting these aspects in relation to the shapes of boats and the scene in general.

My still life work reveals the same fascination, though usually the effects of light are from an artificial source in the studio to enhance the forms of the objects I choose for the composition.
