"One of the finest landscape painters of his generation and is magnificently equipped to tackle the changing drama of this land."

Throughout a long career his love of subject has been matched by a relentless determination to discover a consistent quality of newness in his understanding of the natural environment. He is not a repeatist artist, indeed, there is a skill and freshness in the way he handles his subjects which is truly mesmeric. The paintings always work on two levels. They have a strong narrative and at the same time a powerful aesthetic appeal. Ihe articulates his vision so precisely his method of doing so is at one with his love of subject and profound spiritual engagement. His audience sense that his pictures are right. Here is honesty and truth. They have all stood on a mountain top or rocky headland with wind and spray in their face reveling in the joy of existence.
