Starting with a pencil sketch drawn outside in the plain air with the first-hand experience of the changing Landscape. This painting is very much about the quality of light. Using oil and varnish on canvas, I watch the winter palette change from shades of blue and grey to Springs's first blooms of yellow, greens and turquoise. Expressing a spirit and spontaneity demonstrated with energetic lines that overlap in a gestural movement. The yellow touches, highlight a vibrancy of new cycles and beginnings.
