The roof top painting, Low Fell View, is the view from my studio window painted shortly after moving there.

The commissioned Farm House piece, painted as an anniversary present depicts the farm that the commissioner grew up in. It references some of my earlier road paintings as well as the layering of imagery common in some of Sigmar Polke and David Salles' paintings. The picture shows a split timescale as well as viewpoint. It also incorporates some of the multi-viewpoint ideas David Hockney has looked at in recent years.

The Military Road painting actually incorporates a 180degree panorama which helps to convey the wide and open horizons and remoteness of Northumberland. The scale and shape of the piece when seen in “the flesh” invites the viewer to participate by physically turning their head to take it in, as one does when viewing a striking vista.
