Observations
I am interested in, observe
and paint impressions of people and
places they visit, atmospheric landscapes and seascapes with strong
elements
of design,
and beach environments. I paint in a figurative way
about what I see.
Sketching records my initial impression, photography gives some factual
resource. Developments in mixed media then lead to an acrylic
composition
in its own right.
