About

Landscape

My landscape paintings focus on details of the terrain in the vicinity the Black Mountains
on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales.
The contents are taken from memory and snapshots of locations passed daily when walking or running through this beautiful land. 
The composition and size of the works were originally influenced by small and detailed landscapes added as backdrops to 
the subjects in portraits from the Italian Renaissance: Details often passed over but intriguing when noticed. 
The images are devoid of the human figure but are replete with the presence of humanity, which for millennia has shaped the landscape here. 

People

My paintings of people are a celebration of who some love to call ‘ordinary'. 
Personally I don't know any ordinary people. Everyone, no matter how modest, have their own achievements, 
eccentricities, talents, contributions to society, victories.
