Studio View Blog: Latest Artworks, News and Inspiration.
This Blog ‘Studio View’ is a regular update of my new work, upcoming exhibitions, some work in progress images and photographs of what inspires me to paint.
My work is all about the ever changing light in the landscape.
“Atmosphere is the sensation directed upon the viewer, whereas mood is the actual feeling provided”.
One of my favourite abstract landscape paintings: Cold Clouds
I often revisit older paintings for inspiration and I love this small abstract landscape for its expressive brushwork and the calm, peaceful mood the blended colours create providing and inviting some quiet reflection.
Three beautiful atmospheric landscape paintings
These three atmospheric paintings share a similar warm colour palette yet each remains wholly unique, carrying its own story, mood and distinct visual elements.
They’re all inspired by winter sunsets capturing the shifting light and mood with rich colour, layered texture and subtle atmospheric depth.
Take a look and see which one would be your favourite……..
New painting: Sunrise Ascent
This new painting was inspired by some of the recent winter sunrises we’ve been having when soft morning hues and the light ascends gently over the landscape, casting a calm, luminous glow across the fields and distant trees.
It’s a very calming painting and would suit any interior space………
Three paintings capturing the essence and beauty of the South Downs.
These three paintings are part of an ongoing series inspired by the South Downs, where the landscape is vast and the views stretch for miles and there is always an abundance of views to draw creative inspiration.
Which one do you find yourself drawn to the most………
Today’s beautiful sunset painting is: Sunset Descent
This new sunset painting is from a series exploring the early light of winter sunsets. It features a beautiful combination of warm tones and textured brushstrokes, which conveys the hush and gentle warmth of a descending sun.

One of my favourite paintings: Molten Sunset
I really enjoyed painting this small canvas (40 × 40 cm). It seemed to flow effortlessly with my favourite music playing, using a single brush that I kept moving around the surface, rarely lifting it or pausing to wash it. The continuous, intuitive approach gives the work a pleasing abstract impressionist quality that I find very satisfying.

You can see all the colour detail I’ve put into this painting on the horizon — from the bright orange glow through the delicate flecks of white to the softly blended red tones that rise gently into the sky, creating subtle shifts of light and atmosphere.
Paintings from the North Downs at different times of the year.
I love painting the North Downs because there’s always different light to capture through the changing seasons whether it’s in the sky with those gorgeous blue tones or in the subtle reflections in the foreground.
Everyday feels different, especially at certain times of year when the sun sits low or climbs high or struggles even to break through shifting clouds.
My new beautiful but cold landscape painting: Snow in the sky
One of my very different landscapes capturing that special light on a cold winter’s day……………….
New small painting on paper: Windswept Autumn
This small painting is free and livelier than many of my other paintings with energetic brushstrokes and brighter colours. Working on paper lets me experiment since the paint dries so fast, making me more spontaneous but thoughtful in layering colours for a dynamic but balanced result.
Its perfect to brighten up any interior space………

New painting: Mist on the Downs
This painting reminds me of cool, foggy autumn days with the soft, gentle light of the setting sun filtering through the mist. The atmosphere feels calm and peaceful, creating a serene ambiance that is perfect for enhancing the mood of any room.
Imagine this painting in a space in your room.
Still one of my favourite small paintings: Ochre Sunset
This acrylic painting shows a hazy Autumn sunset with soft yellow and pink clouds in the sky. Bright colours glow on the far horizon, while dark shadows stretch over the green landscape. ‘Ochre Sunset’ captures the brief moment when the sun sets, spreading a light mist over the hills as warm Autumn colours hang in the sky.
Could this become one of your favourites too?

Its a creative journey which I’d like to share……
How three sunset paintings can be so different…..
‘Sunlit Lustre’, ‘Ochre Sunset’ and ‘Gilded Sunset’ show the brief moments when the day's last light fades, giving way to the mesmerising colours and deep shadows of a sunset.
Each painting presents a different view, highlighting the unique beauty of every sunset.
