Lemon Tree and Banana Plant
I have been engrossed in painting flowers! The evolution of my series of still life paintings featuring flowers, created with oil paints, has advanced from my initial quick acrylics on paper to my recent works showcasing irises in a Chinese vase and a textured vase of roses. While drawing inspiration from Van Gogh and Matisse, I have incorporated my own artistic style. There are more paintings in this collection to come, as I continue to explore this theme.

Rocky Shore at Manilva Costa, oil on canvas 90x90cm
Out walking in Andalucia looking for good places to set up and paint.
An atmospheric, heavily textured impressionistic oil painting of the almond blossom trees in Andalucia, with beautiful goldfinches flying through the landscape.
The colours and textures are reminiscent of Van Goghs olive trees series, which was completed in 1889. Whilst also containing traces of Hockney's recent landscape work.
In this piece, I have included the goldfinches to describe the characteristics of the Andalucian environment and the life of the wilderness.
