 I thought it might be interesting to say a bit about my painting method.I spend a lot of time in the field sketching, especially wildlife, which I find really helpful. Although I often start an oil painting out in the countryside (or do a  small scale oil sketch) most of my oil paintings are completed back in the studio over weeks or sometimes months using my sketches and photographs for reference as my work is highly detailed.I work mainly with brushes in a realistic but painterly style which I find allows me to exercise my skills whilst leaving me creative freedom to express myself by interpreting what I see and so allowing something of my thoughts and feelings to be in my paintings.
