I am a plein-air painter based in Bristol, UK. My paintings are souvenirs of place and time. I like to capture what I see in paint so that moment can be enjoyed forever. All my work is done on location directly from nature. See more landscapes and cityscapes in the gallery and most recent 2019 / 2020 in the blog. CLICK painting trips blog to see my most recent work, the weekly Stuck at Home Challenge (now week 27) and Sky Portrait Artist of the Week.
