Biography
My main job is landscape gardening but i love to paint, its in my blood, even after a hard days work in the garden, i cant wait to pickup my brushes, i think the gardening/painting compliment eachother well, they are much the same in many ways. I am mainly self taught but have been painting and drawing since i was a small child, i have had many exhibitions in my home town of Edinburgh/Scotland, they include the galleries of Dundas Street, Out rageous and Also many restaurants and cafe's. I love oils as my medium but have used many others, i like to create texture in a painting and all my work comes from my own mind, especially dreams, i never copy or paint anything in real life, i feel my work is trully original if i avoid this.

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.
