 and is a Fellow of the Landscape Institute. His practice as a national award-winning landscape architect greatly informs his paintings and vice versa. He particularly likes to create textured paintings and often incorporates gels and pastes and sometimes applies gold leaf. He mostly always incorporates reflective paints in his work to capture and reflect the light. He will usually combine the use of a palette knife and soften this with brushwork. He is inspired by the enduring 'impressionist' masters: Klimt, Monet, Cezanne, Matisse, Sorolla, and also the more contemporary landscape painters, notably Hitchens, Rae, and Tress. &method=button "Share with Pinterest"){kind=small}
