Absolutely love the fact that there is always light on the horizon no matter what the weather
‘The sky is the drama of your painting. You must see this drama and hear the music of the land. Feel the wind on your face and smell the scent of the moor. If you can smell it, you can paint it’
Ashley Jackson, 1972)
The sky tells you everything. It’s the emotional weather of the land; it can weigh it down or lift it up. Light and dark work together to create the dynamic.; I aim to capture the rawness and atmosphere, it is what sets the hair on the back of my neck on edge, and I feel a need to paint.
Even in the stormiest skies, look closely - there’s always light on the horizon. That is a moment of hope.
