View from the window is a quick sketch of a late afternoon made with the leftover paint.
It is on oil paper as my aim was simply to enjoy the process of painting a view I look at every day and that I love so much, because of the lush trees and the green grass.
As I was painting from my living room, the light indoors was not enough to see well but I did my best.

This is a painting made in the studio and it features the canal walk we used to have when we lived near the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal in Llanover, Wales.
I was attracted by the light and reflections created by the sunshine and it shows a lush vegetation I really love.

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.
