An odd question to ask if you left art college over 30 years ago? But I can see that as a landscape painter I am still evolving. I am starting to use place names and its important to me to capture the specific characteristics of the landscape. That doesn’t mean my intention is just to make a faithful rendition of the view. For me its a balance between what can be seen and how that can be translated through the language of painting, space, colour, rhythm and the relationship of objects. My stamina is improving, a much better effort than last time, happy with the start.
