What inspires me......

Old distressed surfaces
colours that work together
strong tonal contrasts
repetitive shapes
surfaces that reflect and heighten each other
beauty in found objects

graphic compositions

negative space

cropped images to heighten the compositional tension
& the art of the great watercolourists, both past & present

My subject matter in my art is broad, ranging from interiors, architecture, boats, figurative, landscapes.....but the link that brings these together is always the LIGHT....I am very attracted to strong tonal contrasts in potential subjects, that enhances form and keeps my compositions strong. The mood of a painting or drawing is always paramount when I am working on a piece......I like to evoke a particular mood  using texture, values and colour.
