Biography
I have been painting occasionally since 1980. I began with a small oil palette but by 1986 had changed to painting on sheet glass. I stopped painting until 2004, when I restarted working in oils. In 2006, I changed to acrylics and in later 2007 returned to paining on sheet glass. I am currently part of an exhibition promoting local artists, at The ArtWorks in Newcastle .

Style Impressionism

An art movement founded in France in the last third of the 19th century. Impressionist artists sought to break up light into its component colors and render its ephemeral play on various objects. The artist's vision was intensely centered on light and the ways it transforms the visible world. This style of painting is characterized by short brush strokes of bright colors used to recreate visual impressions of the subject and to capture the light, climate and atmosphere of the subject at a specific moment in time. The chosen colors represent light which is broken down into its spectrum components and recombined by the eyes into another color when viewed at a distance (an optical mixture). The term was first used in 1874 by a journalist ridiculing a landscape by Monet called Impression - Sunrise.
