Synopsis

“The painter hoists a large canvas to the easel and sorts through a sheaf of images. He picks out a favorite view of Cannon street in the City. With the broadest brush he sweeps a darkened mixture of ochre, umber and cobalt blue, laying swathes of shadow before slashes of light in cream and grey blue. Having established the suggestion of sunlit buildings against a blackened ground he puts the canvas aside to replace it with an Oxfordshire landscape, while glancing at ten more canvases that await development.‘” (Painter’s Capital 2005) In a collection of works and artist’s notes the reader is introduced to the intimate process of landscape painting; from the initial choice of the subject and theme to detail the formation of a work. Oils, watercolours, drawings and sketchbooks include views of the Sussex Downs, Cornwall and Dartmoor, and abroad in France, Greece and southern Spain; with studies of London, Paris and work from the model, made in life studios. “The drawings and watercolours appeal to me personally” Hope Daniels, editor, American Style
