This is another oil painting featuring the beauty of countryside, where nature is lush and you can walk under a big sky.
I liked the path leading to a distant field behind the line of trees and the open sky above with many passing clouds. The sense of peaceful movement was what I tried to recreate in this landscape.

Inspired by open land and big skies, I painted this landscape painting featuring a well known field in Llanover, Wales.
I worked in the studio over some working sessions. My main focus and aim was to capture the sense of space both of the land and the sky, with the soft feeling of playful clouds.

I really enjoyed using the palette knife to soften edges and create atmosphere.
Clouds Over the Brecon Beacons is an oil painting done from the bedroom window looking towards the Brecon Beacon National Park.
I decided to paint it because of the clouds and their relationship in terms of light with the land below.
Painted alla. prima and from direct observation I aimed to avoid details and be as direct as possible.

Hilltop Trees is an oil painting featuring a view dear to me that I can see from where I live.
After a failed attempt because of the weather conditions, I returned a couple of days left to be welcomed by a lovely sunshine and beautiful cloud formations.
I loved the colours and the light.

Autumn on the Moors is a small plein-air painting capturing the wild character of the higher ground, where wind, sun, clouds, and marsh grass create the atmosphere of untouched beauty.
It was painted on a glorious autumnal day in the Ystradgynlais area, in an alla prima style.
I was drawn to the spot because I wanted to enjoy the good weather after many days of rain.

It is a landscape painting with a focus on the clouds above the land.
The two people in the photo really were there — quite an unusual sight up there.
