Landscapes

I do more landscapes than anything else and I guess this is because I have loved landscape all my life. Some of my earliest memories are of my enjoyment of just staring out of the car window at the passing countryside, and as a child I was never bored by car travel. Being in landscape, walking sitting and riding a bicycle through it is a great love of mine.
My first two exhibitions featured many works derived from wild places, mostly from National Parks but even urban landscape formed part of my childhood enjoyment of the outdoors. For instance the country kid that I was always found being in Perth and driving down Mounts Bay Road towards the university exhilarating with the vast expanse of water, the far shores and the hillside passing above.

My maturity as a painter arrived when I learned to make paintings that are unified, self contained worlds of colour. I don’t believe that the actual subject matters all that much in the completed work, it is only important that the subject inspired a scheme of colour and shape, that thing that happens in the inception moment, which is often like a flash of recognition.
