I was interested in the shapes and textures of these sand dunes and thought that pastel was the ideal medium to express this.
This original pastel painting is not mounted or framed.
I have always liked to draw and paint, but didn't take it up seriously until I was in my early 30's. I attended a local evening class and was very lucky to find a very good and patient teacher. I joined a couple of local art groups and gradually developed my style and interests.
In my work I paint landscapes and seascapes in pastels, acrylics and watercolour. Through the medium of my art, I try to express the particular mood or feeling that these subjects evoke. I have a love of coastal areas particularly the Suffolk coast and I enjoy the challenge of capturing the light and atmosphere of that part of the country. I work mostly from sketches and photographs but I also like to paint in the landscape itself.I am constantly revising and looking at fresh approaches to the way I work.
At the moment I paint in my spare time, but I hope one day to be able to work at my art full time. Presenting and selling my work online is part of this plan. It gives me a chance to show my work to a wide audience, who hopefully will like it enough to buy it. (By the way, a big thank you to all those who have bought my work so far. It is very encouraging to me when I sell a piece of work.)
