About Alex James Long

 
 
  • Biography

    I am a full-time emerging oil painter from Oxfordshire, UK. I am primarily a Landscape painter, mostly working en plein air. I absolutely love the beauty of the natural world around us and exploring new places; I initially started painting as a way to record these moments for my own understanding but have since realised I can also bring joy to other people by creating works that capture the mood or essence of a place at a particular moment in time. With my paintings I like to try and develop quick and lively plein air compositions but which still reflect an appreciation for the classical figurative representation of the natural world.
