I spend half of my time in North Dorset. Our village is at the top of Cranborne Chase and we have sweeping views down to the South coast and spectacular big skies. Come rain or shine, it is beautiful.

The Isle of Jura has one road that runs the length of the island. It is a single track with occasional passing places and is bordered with telephone lines. I am always fascinated with the way these poles and wires disrupt the landscape and sky. This painting was inspired by a very rainy windy walk along this road, counting the poles until we got home.

I love the immediacy of life drawing and I am often drawn to “happy accidents”. This was drawn in 10 minutes with Carla modelling for us. The board I used to rest my paper on had deep gouges across it, presumably made with a blade by the previous user. I like the accidental marks these gouges made on the drawing.

Not far from where I live in London is a small public park called Cremorne Gardens. On one side it is bordered by the river Thames where on the foreshore is a jetty. This painting was inspired by a morning of sketching when the tide was low and the jettys’ legs were exposed, disrupting the landscape in an interesting way.

Inspired by a day at the Victoria & Albert Museum.

I love the juxtaposition of artefacts from all over the world and from all areas of creativity: Japanese ukiyo-e paintings, Michaelangelo sculptures, Islamic tiles, and high end fashion all housed under the same roof in the centre of London .

Cairidh Mhor is a fresh water loch on the Isle of Jura on the west coast of Scotland. This painting was made from a sketch I did whilst waiting for someone to catch some evasive brown trout!
