Original artwork description:

This painting draws upon the colours and forms of villas below the mountains and beside the sea during a stay in Mascarat on the Costa Blanca. The houses are built into steep mountain sides, and interact with the limestone by their form, views and exterior spaces; the blues of the sea, sky and pool, the white of the limestone and the walls of the house. The painting style is intended to reflect the merging of the land with the built structure.

A new series considering the impact of architectural structures on the land in the light of the ideas of Frank Lloyd Wright. "Architecture should be of the land, not on the land"
The layered paintings in this series show marks and imagery layered upon each other over a long period of time, in the same way that happens to the land and subsequent structures upon it.
Buildings emerge sometimes indistinctly, sometimes with force and clarity from the land around them.
Juxtaposition is a constant theme also in the paintings, the way that a structure opposes or harmonises with its surrounding, the way that old and modern architecture can co-exist. The paintings methods reflect this in the way that styles and types of brush strokes are juxtaposed, and through the use of colour; where an unusual or startling colour choice might be made.
Big white walls, flat blue swimming pools, and mountains.
Landscape and architecture forming a layered palimpsest.
