Working primarily in oils I paint with loose gestural brushwork on canvas or panel after I have developed value and compositional sketches with pastel, ink and watercolour. Larger paintings are developed in the studio based on site work.

"Much of my inspiration is found in nature where I seek out the silence sitting by the lake at first light, watching the sun rise, and the mist slowly clear. Many of my pieces are painted on location. Painting at low light under an immense ever changing sky is glorious."
