"Colours,
moors, wind, rain, sunshine - I love them all! Having spent most of my
life in Ilkley (in the valley of Wharfedale, West Yorkshire), I have always
loved the Yorkshire moors - their timelessness, their hugeness, their
solidity under our varying skies. I am motivated by that 'ahhh' moment,
when the contours of the clouds suddenly match those of the land, or when
the light suddenly illuminates a field or a rocky outcrop, or when one
simply reaches the crest of a heather-covered hill and the world seems
to say 'look at me!' And what about our English skies? Do you, like me,
enjoy those wonderful days when the clouds make a composition all of their
own? Those special days when our skies create a glorious entertainment
- and by capturing the clouds you can capture the wind, the movement,
and the vastness. Bring these together in landscapes, with heightened
colour to add joy and vividness - a touch of my own reaction to some of
this world we live in - and the results are my pictures! Above all, I
hope to add to your own 'ahhh' moments - offering scenes full of light
and colour and joy; scenes that, at any second, might change as the wind
blows the clouds across the horizon - scenes to be watched. " |
