On the road - My plein air paintings

A big factor in closing the gallery after 20 years was to give myself the freedom to paint further afield - and to paint more large scale work outside. If you have ideas of where I could go next or would like to commission a piece like this get in touch!

Dungeness: A Place Like No Other

Dungeness is more than a location—it’s a mood. Shingle beaches stretch endlessly under vast skies. Abandoned boats, rusting machinery, and scattered dwellings tell stories of resilience and solitude. The nuclear power station looms in the distance, a surreal contrast to the fragile ecology that surrounds it. It’s this juxtaposition that fuels my creative process.

 

Farthing Common: A Landscape of Layers

Farthing Common is a place of contrasts—open chalk grasslands meet ancient woodland, and distant views stretch toward the sea. It’s a landscape shaped by centuries of passage, from Roman roads to modern walkers. The light changes constantly here, casting long shadows and illuminating textures that speak of time and transformation.
