Landscapes

I paint local scenes in oil, watercolour and pastel, trying to convey the variable light and forms of our local Borders and Forest countryside and the mood of the weather. My palette is mainly earth colours with keyed-up tertiary colours in close proximity, such as purple with green or oranges and blues.
Similar colours may be found in buildings as in natural scenes – churches, or dilapidated cottages – because they’re embedded in a landscape that describes their story and character
