Landscapes

Every day I went down to St Kilda Beach and stared at the sky, and very quickly I became acutely aware of the massive shifts in the firmament: cold days would bring out brilliant, coral pink sunsets; rain would inspire a study in subtle grey hues; dry heat would give the world a fierce, amber cast. These landscapes are my response to my local environment - and they also give me a structure to explore atmosphere through wet-in-wet painting.
