2001 – Simple Landscapes
‘Simple Landscapes’ – A set of paintings I started in 1995. I left them until 2001 when I wanted to paint some scenery just to unwind. I wanted to paint images that conveyed ease and had just enough in them to suggest landscapes. Nothing too busy or detailed, just simple landscapes
