INSPIRATION

My home: The Isle of Wight

My studio is surrounded by beautiful and varied countryside.

I am very lucky that I am ten minutes from the sea, ten minutes from woodland, ten minutes from open downs and ten minutes from precious mud-flats.

Every day I walk for two hours every day.  Rain or shine.

On these walks I get my inspiration.

I am hugely inspired by natural forms and the rhythms of the seasons and tides.

I have been painting long enough to know that my painting follows a yearly cycle.

In Spring my work has a lust for life.

 

In Summer an easy optimistic joy. 

 

In Autumn my work is more thoughtful and sombre. 

 

In Winter it has a starker quality. 

Yesterday the clouds reminded me of Tiepolo's painting.  Associations like this permeate my work.
