Paintings

I have always felt that a simple thing in the natural world, such as the corner of a field, a dead branch, a patch of flowers, has it’s own power and spirit, it’s own presence. That if we could only really experience it, would be enough wonder and discovery for a lifetime. That if we could really look inwards, and be in the moment, instead of always moving forward on our own thin thread of time. If we could just stop. Stop travelling in time, like a train rushing through, as we are cursed to always do. People talk about time travel, as if it’s something impossible, but we are actually doing it constantly, and it’s stopping in time that is an impossible goal to me. This is what I try to capture in my paintings, the essence of a moment, the thing as it really is outside time.

There are separate pages for watercolours and acrylics and some of my paintings are available as prints or cards.
