"Almost all my landscape pictures are painted in situ.  They are a record of a complete sensory experience: the scorching sunshine, the storm clouds, smells of a cooking lunch wafting through an open window, or the constant hum of hundreds of bees in a vivid violet field of lavender.

Although I usually paint outdoors, I sometimes use sketches and paintings as inspiration for more abstract works produced later in the studio.  The memory of a place can take me in different directions, using varied materials and a change of scale.  I find this particularly important in the UK, when the climate is notoriously unreliable".
