About My Art
The majority of my work is painted on canvas in oils and preferably I like to paint on the spot and perhaps finish off in my studio later. I also use reference photographs a lot. When in UK I could spend weeks painting the fantastic skies.
Landscape painting is relaxing and it gives me a lot of pleasure but I also like to paint the human figure mainly in the form of the female body.
I have completed a series of large canvases dealing with the movement of waves over rocks which I found extremely stimulating.
In fact, I find that each subject requires its own technique. Whilst the crashing waves series required a palette knife and vibrant colour thickly applied to the canvas, the female form asks for a more delicate approach and I don't often use the knife when working on figurative works.
I work in my study and am very fortunate to have a large, extremely well lit space in my home specifically for this purpose.
At the present time I am working towards an exhibition I am organising which will be held in Milan in late spring 2007.
