My Painting Process

Golden Buddha

My aim in painting is to create a picture that will leave a strong impression, with impact, that will speak to you, and that will enhance and be very present in your home, almost alive, with its own personality. I use bright, strong colours and textured backgrounds to help me achieve my goal – these are also often strong reminders for me of the times I have spent both in India/Sri Lanka, and the American South West – both areas where colours are strong and brilliant, reflected from a bright sun and deep blue sky. I also love painting portraits, pet portraits and  especially animals where I try to invest any animals or birds with a strong personality or emotion, and capture their soul if I can, with emphasis on their eyes.

In some of the larger pieces, I like to incorporate my unique ‘secret collage’ where I use hand prepared paper in subtle ways to enhance, and to add texture, value contrast, depth and shadow in a very discreet way.

SEA TURTLE

This is a sea turtle who I came across at a sea turtle rescue centre in Sri Lanka. He was there because he had ingested plastic in the ocean but was recovering well. I loved his strong colouring, the subtle variations of colour on his head and shell, the white lines and his wrinkled neck, and, especially, the dappled effect of the sunlight in the water producing such subtle green, yellow and gold effects. For me, this turtle is a symbol of hope, that men will save all our beautiful land and sea creatures in the future, and help save our planet.
