My artwork was created after numerous visits
to Castle Farm a mile or two downstream from
Shoreham. It is a place I have long been interested
in as a location to paint, with obvious eye-
catching perspective lines pulling the eye into
the middle distance as well as the breathtaking
wow factor of the lavender colours. The pattern-
making of the field systems, hedgerows, and
structured tree planting have long fascinated me
and have encouraged me to explore numerous
compositions. The light though, as in much of
my work, is the key interest. A hazy ambiguity is
apparent, as separate fields become less obvious
and skyline blends with sky.
