About Danny McBride

My main subjects as a painter are landscapes and seascapes. These allow me to forge a deep connection with nature. The process of observing and capturing the changing light, colours, textures, and moods of the natural world provide me with a sense of serenity and grounding. It's a way to immerse myself in the beauty of the creation that surrounds me. My seascapes particularly evoke a wide range of emotions. Predominantly en plein air, I find that the emotional response to weather and various sea states translates into colour and movement, the process can often be electrifying! The vastness of a seascape or the tranquility of a rural landscape can resonate with people on a profound level. I find that nature has much to teach us about the bigger picture of our existence and purpose. As an artist, I want to convey these emotions and experiences through my paintings, creating a personal and emotional connection with my audience.
