I paint in oils on board. On paper. Canvas.
Charcoal and pastels for different effects.
Poetry to shape my ideas.
Mostly landscapes.
Elemental nature.
Nature which consoles
Humbles
Nourishes.
Nature as metaphor.
Originally I trained in classical music
Later in fine art.
Poetry has come uninvited.
Music, art and poetry share many qualities
Blank canvas, sheet of paper, empty room.
Whiteness.
Stillness.
Mark, tone, colour,
Shape, texture
Dynamic and rhythm
Disturb the silence.
Outside
Periods visiting, sketching, writing
Finding my subject.
Feeling the place.
Inside
Play, experiment, risk
Memory, imagination.
Reduce, abstract.
I like to work in series.
Exploring ideas of repetition and difference.
