Paintings Of Dorset

I’m often inspired to create paintings of Dorset, many of which are loosely based on views around the local area of Christchurch, I enjoy finding interesting views, creating Impressionistic paintings of this picturesque area, with the sea, forest and rivers, in the beautiful county of Dorset, inspiration can be found by walking along the coastal paths, through the New Forest, the River Stour and River Avon, the harbours, and endless beaches, all at different times of the year and in all weathers!

Quality Of Light

What captures the imagination and inspires the creation of my paintings the most, is a quality of light that I can re-capture onto canvas, the light I find the most interesting is at sunrise, sunset and twilight, the skies can change second by second, and create magical vistas that fill the senses, three paintings of Dorset that are I’ve chosen to feature here are examples of how I paint light, and how this effects the land and sea

I enjoy painting Impressionistic interpretations of a place, re-creating a scene to make it full of atmosphere and colour, that takes the viewer to a different place and time, that I hope connects with the viewers thoughts and emotions, my paintings have often been described as “magical”, which is a word I love to hear, as I aim to make my paintings an escape of the mind from the day to day “toil and moil” to a place of beauty, and peaceful tranquility!
