Further work in the Thurstaton Panorama series - after a number of studies, I let loose with an oil pastel and some watercolour; the image above emerged in 10mins. It’s a bit like the 20min poem produced after hours of labour on another title….

Liking Ivon Hitchin’s landscapes a lot at the moment.
Joan Eardley - landscape inspiration
Recently I’ve been experimenting with panoramic photography, creating curved horizons with a limited colour palette (click on the title above to see an example). Somehow the curves excite me more than a flat line, and the chalky skies have me reaching for a paintbrush… I’m reminded of paintings like the one above by the Scottish artist Joan Eardley. I came across Eardley’s work not long after leaving art school and admired her colours, energy and abstraction. I’m also revisiting the work of Anne Redpath, another Scottish artist on my inspiration list.
