Here is an extract from my Instagram post on this painting. Or click here to see my feed.

I painted this sometime around 2016. This was when i really started to enjoy plein air painting. I’d been inspired by the works of Canadian painter Tom Thomson and I was beginning to understand how I could use a scene as a spring board - taking from it just those elements that I wanted to explore, putting together my own impression of the place. It’s not about improving on nature- that is futile- It’s more about realising the limitations of painting and learning to distill a very small part of what I am seeing and experiencing, into a compelling image. I was talking to @kathleen.soriano during the Cromarty Semi Final of #LAOTY about this, or trying to - the pressure of being filmed meant that I probably fumbled my explanation but Kathleen responded with the term”Wall Power”- the part didn’t get aired, but I think its a great way of putting it.

I am trying out a new type of frame on this one so stay tuned...
