Inspired by walking in Epping Forest, near Loughton, on a day of dramatic weather - an icy gale and snow swirling around in the air.
I have used ink and watercolour with some acrylic and gouache body colour. The painting was built up in many layers including some random, abstract marks such as blotting, spraying and drips and runs to bring a sense of movement.
The artwork will be packed by Nigel Smith, and orders are typically shipped within 48 hours of being accepted.

My work lies somewhere between abstraction and naturalism. I think of them as ‘dreamscapes’—part memory, part imagination. I usually begin with images of natural elements such as flora and fauna or figurative elements. The finished works are sometimes purely abstract, sometimes more representational. The most successful ones have a mysterious, hard to read quality and a feeling of impermanence. The process is as important as the subject to me. I apply multiple layers over a long period of time, scratching and sanding back to reveal temporarily hidden elements that then inspire further marks.
