I paint outside whenever I can in front of the subject within a two-hour time frame to try and capture a scene that changes constantly with the weather. The moving light across a landscape is a real challenge but worth it - I think the final result offers a really loose and interesting picture. Painting started as a hobby and quickly became a passion. My route to this has simply been enthusiasm, dedication – and a lot of practice. Lately my preferred medium has tended to be oils; though I have returned to the use of acrylics and watercolours.
