Spain

I painted these pictures from a balcony in a villa near the village of Periana .. south of Malaga ...deep into the mountains - Where the Villas, farm houses and sheds could be seen.. across the panoramic space presented to me from my idyllic vantage point.

I responded to the unique light.. which inspired me to respond with the colours of summer..I captured patterns of simple village architecture and arid rolling landscape in watercolour initially, finishing canvas pieces with high quality oil.. which created lush liquid qualities , thickened by textural surfaces.. I’d experienced when walking through the olive orchards and gravelled lanes.
