Light and shadow... paintings inspiration!

At present I am really fascinated by shadows and patterns that I find in my surroundings.
I try to go for regular walks and so gather ideas and inspiration from all around me. I shall enclose some examples. Often it is not the large impressive things that inspire me but small moments, glimses that stay with me.

Derek Balmer interviewed

I found this video really enjoyable and interesting to see how he describes his method of working. His paintings are bright and full of colour.

Happy holidays

Here's hoping that the weather is kind to you.
This painting 'Pulling my socks off, running in'..  is one of my memories of being by the sea and being in such a rush to get into the water. I hope you enjoy my painting and that this time of year brings back good memories for you.

Traveling and finding sculptures to inspire

Having returned from a wonderful trip and now pouring over the photos, I am particularly drawn to the imagination and skill of the sculptures at 'Raganu Kalnas' near Juodkrante. The Hill of Witches is an outdoor sculpture gallery near JuodkrantÄ—, Lithuania.
There are many sculptures there one even better than the next.
If you are ever near there do go and visit.
Please see my pictures below.
