I do not feel I have reached the level of artistry I would like to. One learns, and hopefully improves as the years go by. My first paintings were raw, by degrees I improved and hopefully will go further yet. It also states in your bio, that 'atmosphere' is a key element in your paintings. Yes, atmosphere is a key to my pictures.
Light is everything.
Even a dull, uninteresting subject that one would not look at on a miserable dull day can be magically transformed into a superb subject by light. I 'see' subjects all the time, wherever I am and always carry a sketchbook. Just to carry on painting. I never tire of it. My heros are Edward Seago, a great landscape painter with a magic in his watercolours that can leave me speechless.
