I paint in oils and watercolour. I work from my own sketches and photographs of the location, meaning that all my senses. are engaged with the subject. I sketch and make notes to myself, decide what to include or subtract, and use a camera to record both the larger scene and tiny details, an instant where the light changes or a fleeting glimpse of something of intrigue.
Back in the studio I can take my time and work at my own pace. I can combine all the information with my personal and emotional response to create a visual interpretation.
