Solway Estuary Paintings

“For many years I have lived and worked next to the Solway estuary, I still fish in it using the traditional Haaf net.

Since childhood, I’ve been acutely aware of the action of the tide; a place that was safe to walk on yesterday can today be too treacherous.

I hope that my paintings in some way convey the idea of the impermanence and shifting nature of the Solway estuary and also the influence of the weather over time on this environment.”

 

Lake District Paintings

“The Cumbrian fells are shaped chiefly by two things; man’s efforts to exploit them and the weather. These two things nearly always inform my paintings of the Lake District. 

Animal tracks; buildings or their remains; walls and mine workings; fells appearing above low cloud; deep stream gullies, mist and rain often appear in my work in abstracted form. Their importance good or bad is magnified.

I live close to the northern bowl of the Lake District and try to paint the fells with the evidence of human intervention – walls, buildings, paths and agriculture but with nature always victorious.

I try to portray the land returning to its original state as an optimistic rather than a pessimistic view”
