These works on paper are reconstructions of the experience of landscape with large gestural brush strokes, collage, ink and pencil. 

I find it hard to do these watercolours ‘en plein air’. That seems to me to be the role of the big camera.

These therefore are all imaginings of landscape, mostly of this estuary where I live; what it’s like, what it was, and what it might become.

I am fascinated by how the simplest brush gesture can convey basic fundamental motifs of landscape; land, sky, water, tree and horizon with all the tones, compositions and relationships within.
