EARTH

“It felt like I had been stuck inside, in a studio, for years and I needed to get out - get air, walk, breathe, put my feet on earth.” So whilst clearing out a few things at his parents in Kent he came across an old watercolour set & some yellowing postcards.   “ I had them in the car still on a visit to the Kent coast and thought to ignore them, but then just plundered straight in as I tend to do.”

” I didn’t know what to expect but it soon became a new addiction and I love the process”

I now have a legitimate reason to leave the four walls of my studio”. 

“The paintings are just as much about solitude and clearing my brain of all the daily bullshits as they are about capturing a view.”
