The painting of abstract landscapes and waterscapes naturally evolved out of my more realistic paintings.This also led me to painting sky-scapes – and the flight of clouds.
During this time my painting transitioned to become more of an expression of the essence of a place through paint and colour.
The painting of water in all its forms and colours obsessed me during this time, and continues to obsess me.
This has naturally resulted in a somewhat green and blue painting phase, in contrast to my early obsession with red.
I use a number of techniques: palette knife, washes, paint poured onto canvas and squeezing paint direct from the tube onto the canvas. This is what I call the true creative painting process ‘of whatever works’.To be successful the painting has to have feeling. ©
