I've always loved this view from Richmond Hill, as I'm sure all Londoners do, with the dramatic curve of the river Thames and vast distant horizon. I’ve painted it a few times before, and wanted to revisit it to see what I can do with it now that my style has changed and skills improved.
I wanted this painting to capture the sense of light sparkling through the trees, making the grass glow an electric green and the river shimmer. It's a painting all about distance, with the foreground field leading to the arching river and out to the very distant blue horizon.
I loved how expansive I could make this small slice of the view feel. The backlit trees were wonderful to paint. I particularly enjoyed layering so, so many shades of green to create that hazy light effect.

I lived in Kostos, this sweet small town in the mountains of Paros, Greece, for two months in 2023. It had a wonderful view of the sea. But I soon discovered that the very best view was found by wandering through the olive groves to a small church on the opposite hill, turning my back to the sea and watching the sunset transform the village’s surroundings into shades of green, gold and purple. Pure magic.
I wanted this painting to feel like a snapshot of a peaceful moment, purely focused on the sunset light, rich colours and Greek beauty. I hope you can sense my nostalgia and love for my short time spent here, and how truly special it is.
I adored painting this piece. The colours are so rich and contrast in a way that captures the glow I remember from my time on the island. Layering the golds and greens in an instinctive way felt fresh and fun, and I hope you can sense that in the final piece.

On a road trip through the Peloponnese last year, I spotted this view from the car window outside Kalamata. I instantly saw a painting in it. The strong, dark vertical shapes of the trees were strikingly contrasted against the hazy blue distance. The Greek-ness of the scene was overwhelming, with the cypress trees standing amongst the olive grove, baking in the midday sun while overlooking the sparkling Mediterranean.
I loved pushing my colour choices in this painting, and I think the final effect is both believable and interesting. Ending up with a painting that follows my ideas, rather than exactly adhering to reality, is exactly where I want to be.

I went on a jaunt to Rome last year to visit the Vatican museums. After spending the morning admiring some of the most celebrated artworks in the world, I walked along the Tiber River and found myself inspired by the beautiful curved shapes of the bridges’ shadows. I was particularly drawn to the colours of blue, orange and green that it created on the water.
I loved breaking this painting down into big graphic shapes of colour and value, and using them to capture the feeling of that bright, fleeting moment by the river.

What a joy it is to paint Albert Bridge again. It's my absolute favourite. I love it for its wild pastel colours, its beautiful reflections, and the way it looks different in every light. This view from Battersea Park, with an intense golden sunrise, makes it shimmer in the light.
I loved the energy I felt while painting this piece. It came together in such a natural way that I think you can sense it in the brushwork.

I wanted to paint Venice in a way that is unexpected but still immediately recognisable. This painting is all about unsettling, diffused blue light that comes through on an overcast day and is bounced around by the water.
I loved creating the unexpected atmosphere in this painting and its almost eerie light. I think the composition choices I made at the beginning worked as I intended, which is a relief.

I lived in gorgeous Lecce for a few months a few years ago. I never tired of strolling through the baroque old town every evening to watch the last of the sun catch the tops of the sandstone buildings, turning them bright yellow.
I wanted this painting to feel both intimate and spectacular - with the narrow dark street of simple houses leading to the wonderfully illuminated and ornate baroque church.
This was a painting that flowed from my paintbrush with very little resistance. I loved mixing the rich colours, and pushing them so they sing against their complementary opposite. For such a dark little painting, I found so much joy in its creation.
