Artists Statement

Painting is a daily activity for me - coaxing paint from tubes, mixing them into littles heaps of colour is a pleasure and a compulsion. In particular I am attracted to the warm dry colours of our landscapes.  I painted at Lanyon in winter when the light and the colours were cool and subdued. The atmosphere was still, and it was so peaceful without even the lightest breeze most of the time. The white buildings provided a useful focal point for the paddock scenes, against the pale hills. And, the warm afternoon light gave opportunities to capture reflected light off the mud buildings. Sometimes between the clouds the sun would appear bathing the fields in gold.
