VIEW IN MY ROOM
Painted in the early mornings of January and February 2015 on a deep frost with snow still on the hills. The date quoted as "date created" mentioned below, is the day I completed the two month task. This meant I had to wear ski-clothes and boots. I had already planned to paint on the path above Penclawdd looking towards Gowerton, Gower, Wales, with the estuary on my left but a chance early morning walk left me touched by the light and the powerful atmosphere. I made several drawings to decide the composition. I was struck by the contrast between "wild and tame" or building and the way the houses lead the eye into the distance. This particular view was captured on sloping ground. As always the work was carrried out on location in oils which I prepared in my studio using binding medium and pigment for superior hue and texture. With this as my main piece I was accepted into a Cornish heat of Sky Arts' Landscape Artist of the Year 2015. Unfortunately I was unable to compete due to unforeseen circumstances.

Six of my paintings are shown on this website but have now been taken on by Art Gallery World so enquiries direct to them please via www.artworldltd.com The pieces concerned are Winter Wander, Gone Fishing Mevagissey, After the Storm Aberystwyth, Cefn Bryn apres Lucien Pissarro, Scotney Castle and Sky and finally Landimore View. Fine art trained at Falmouth School of Art and West Surrey College of Art and Design, constantly looking to better myself and produce to my highest possible standard. I entered the Foundation Diploma course having received the school prize for art and knew straight away painting would be my direction. Since living on the doorstep of Gower I have been concentrating on painting in the landscape. From near Falmouth, Cornwall originally, I regularly visit Cornwall, Devon, recently Norfolk and everywhere imbetween. To be freely roaming from dawn to dusk influenced me greatly. Since my earliest memory I have loved wild places, this is where I feel most at one. From the age of twelve I knew I wanted to be an artist. The moment my eyes closed at night I would see image after image flashing past my "eyes". I have undergone extreme challenges but my dream is now realised. My materials are studio-prepared oils, pigments mined and processed from Caves near South Wales and other suppliers - in children's workshops we source these naturally - and binding medium, egg tempera, oil pastels, watercolour and gouache, pastel pencils, charcoal and pencil. Larger pieces take months to complete and involve all sorts of surprising hazards. Adders, cattle, parachutists and of course the weather to name a few. I tutor art on a weekly basis from beginner to more advanced level. I started entering competitions this year and was awarded Highly Commended at Paint Out Wells-Next-The-Sea 2015 and was accepted into a heat of Sky Arts' Landscape Artist of the Year 2015, unforseen circumstances prevented my participation. Writing fiction, poetry, comedy, songwriting, foreign languages, walking and cycling also occupy me during rare moments when I am not painting, preparing materials or tutoring. My aim is to create forever.
