Introducing 'Sky Flame', a new original monotype. Now sold, this is part of the new series featured in my blog post. The lone tree in this piece not only gives life and interpretation but also lends an air of determination. Prints can be ordered. https://t.co/NvPaABHYnV
With this image, I really wanted to perfect the interaction of colours to give a glowing sense of light. I just love how the colours have come together in the sky; almost to give a real life 'photograph effect' with the textured art in the foreground. https://t.co/7Wrnp7UNjM
This wide countryside vista is based on a view from the Cleveland Way, near Faceby in the North Yorkshire Moors. The whole scene is bathed in a pinky golden light with a tapestry of heather in the foreground. https://t.co/aX5Fn83w4z #landscapeartist #yorkshireskies #artgallery
With this landscape, I returned to my earlier theme of seeing the landscape as a patchwork of fields. The strongly coloured foreground has a sense of the recession of plough lines but is really a great excuse for having fun with colour and pattern! https://t.co/hpZwoJGyjj
People often ask me what the patterns signify in my work - is it roots or geology below the ground or agricultural land marks? All on these and none! When I'm working, my focus is just on colour and pattern and creating beautiful patterns in nature.

Sycamore Gap: This eye-catching view on #HadriansWall is famous in #Northumberland. It's also known as Robin Hood's Tree after Kevin Costner paid it a visit! I used the foreground space for colour, texture and some gestural marks. Print available https://t.co/ebV8PrH28b
I learnt a thing from one of my followers: a clump of trees on a hill like this can be called a tump! Paul Nash made many studies of #wittenhamclumps which is a similar landform. There's also the #cominghometrees in #Cornwall. Are there any near you?

A large autumn woodland with the sunlight streaming through the trees. My goals here were to have a great sense of depth using three levels of tree trunks and to vary the colours laterally on every layer to indicate warm light pouring through the trees.

Do you enjoy watching the quiet patience of a heron fishing in a pond or lake? There's something about the dusky grey feathers and the bend in their necks which is mesmerizing. This image is available as a greetings card. Part of my #BritishBirds series.

A glorious meadow with poppies in full bloom. I do these more summery pictures from time to time as a seasonal change from my more wintery work. I wanted to incorporate more varied shades of red and orange to give light and variety.
