The chief characteristics of watercolour is its elusiveness and transparency, and in ‘pure’ watercolour painting, this can be exploited to the full. 

I find watercolour a truly evocative medium, loving its versatility and fluidity. A few brush strokes can conjure up a whole atmosphere of space and scale and capture fleeting moments and experiences with power and simplicity.

I think the best watercolours are those which say the most with the fewest means.

My intension is that my impressionistic approach to landscape painting creates a dialogue between the painting and the viewer, showing my strong affinity to the landscape and the feelings the landscape evokes in me.

When looking at a landscape I must consider how the sky, time of day and weather conditions create an overall mood, keeping a sense of harmony, balance and simplicity.
