Plants and flower are a prominent features in my work from the fresh blooms and leaves they often stay around in the Studio long after they have faded. They become features and motifs in my larger studio paintings, but it always starts with an exploration in paint.
This gallery represents the ongoing collection of these works
A series of work from the summer of 2024 onwards. These works are based on a collection of location studies made during a summer trip(2024)
to a specific part of the solway coast, from Kippford to Sandy Hills in Dumfries and Galloway. These works are not only informed by the recent studies but also the experience of familiarity and memories from many annual visits from my childhood and the childhood of my children.
