About the Item

Silent stillness and transient atmospherics draw me to paint the water and its reflections. There is a mystical infinite quality to the light, in particular the exquisite, vaporous and ephemeral luminosity, as it moves through the trees or behind the hills and reflects back onto the water, especially at first or last light, the threshold where sky and land touch. I try to capture the fleeting moment, just before the sunlight burns away the mist or the light fading into dusk, in an attempt to suspend it in time. The absence of any human presence is a deliberate decision, lending a timeless quality, an attempt to transport the viewer back to a past millennia when our impact on the planet was more benign. I take reference from my walks, living by the river and the arcadian landscapes of the 17th and 18th century.
