“My passion has always been the landscape. I feel a sense of<br />
history when painting… the painters I admire and study, Corot,<br />
Constable, Turner, Inness, Bonnard, Resika…the history of the land<br />
itself and my own familiar connection to it. Painting comes through<br />
the study of nature…transformed, not merely copied. Seeing the<br />
immediacy of the place…what strikes me first. The way trees react<br />
to fields, colour to colour, shape to shape…pushing and pulling the<br />
plastic nature of the picture plane, creating believable space.<br />
I find the challenge of using what I have observed, taking it to my<br />
studio, and creating a new painting invigorating. Drawing upon the<br />
memory of place and experience…using the language, I have<br />
learned from nature, trying to keep the painting fresh…space,<br />
clarity, surprise…that’s painting!”<br />
