Views that make me want to draw and paint are almost always ones that enable me to engage with light and dark, warm, and cool shadows, especially those that I see moving across interesting architecture. The flare of light along the edge of a building or through foliage immediately gets my attention. Reflection of colours through the sky or bouncing off glass windows or water at sunset or sunrise, feature in my painting. I love to paint the weather, snow, stormy days and sunshine.
