Original mixed media painting in gouache, pastel, graphite, ink and structura ground on Bockingford Watercolour paper (425gm/sq m), white matt surface and acid free. Structura is a paste applied to the surface of the paper to provide some texture as part of the painting process.

"I paint places where I have a connection either personal or through ideas and thoughts that interest me. The Humber Estuary is a major source of inspiration and I use the space it provides to explore these thoughts and ideas, regularly coming back to the same viewpoint. The distant horizon across the Estuary allows the imagination to find other places including classical references. "The way we look at the landscape determines how we understand and internalise it."
