"In the five years since my last exhibition I've had plenty of time to ruminate on developing certain aspects of my landscape painting such as atmospheric perspective and a sense of presence. I'm also taking a fresh look at painting animals and have been enjoying hunting them down to paint. I've found as time goes on I turn to more painterly ways to represent nature and this has given a new freedom to my work."
"Pastures New" will feature approximately sixty works, subjects including familiar rural themes of cattle, pigs, poultry, hounds and horses, together with landscapes from Connemara, the west coast of Scotland, Norfolk and his home county of Dorset.
