Contemporary oil painter [email protected] “My love for landscape painting stems from my love of nature… its breathtaking and timeless beauty; its bright or fleeting light and the overwhelming feeling of peace and tranquility it can convey. I want to move the onlooker, to make them feel like they could just step into my canvas and linger for a few moments while enjoying the view and the peacefulness. Over the past year or so, I have predominantly painted scenes close to home. The view from my window, the path from the wooded area where I like to walk, sunrises and sunsets, ships sailing by, etc.… But the lock-down has also made me nostalgic for travel, so I started another series of paintings of special places. My hope is that my paintings bring a little soothing to my viewers after the horrendous year we have all been through.” |
