Thanks Jasmine, Alina, and Kathleen:-) yeh I like them both too always been undecided about which to use. I know what you mean about being able to feel the warmth more with the colour though. Ahhh yes the smell of the sagebrush, miles and miles of it in some places where that picture was taken.
I am from and live in the North of England. Though based amongst the hills and moors which I find so inspiring, my work also reflects my time spent living in America, I love working with camera or paintbrush.

As I sat by a campfire I heard a wolf howling, close enough to know that I was within its territory, it was one of a pack but if I was to portray a wolf in one of my paintings it would be that one, I know that wolf, by hearing it in the wild I am connected to it. My paintings and photographs of the nude in nature depict this connection, this freedom. When I go to the wild and lonely places and walk naked I feel a spiritual connection to nature. The images are based on reality, my own experiences in my homeland of England and when I lived in the Rocky Mountain Country in America. These experiences have inspired my art, my art is an adventure.
THE PHOTOGRAPHS
As many artists do, I began taking photographs as reference for my paintings. But after a while the photographs also became the art: another way of expressing myself.I now love to work with both, the photographs and the paintings :-) This blog is specificaly for the photographs .
I think this works best in colour. you can feel the natural beauty...
ReplyDeleteJust like night and day, they are equally stunning in their own way. Love them both!
ReplyDeleteBoth are beautiful, but I think I prefer this in color - I can feel the warmth of the sun and smell the sweetness of the sagebrush...
