My slate paintings develop from what the irregular surface and shape of the slate leads me to see, within the bounds of sea or landscape and tree themes.

Mostly (thus far) I have painted in oil and acrylic. But I enjoy other media too. So this (and others like it) I started doing a couple of years ago. I was experimenting with layering up gesso on board for a painting of a tree and was doing it on a dark background, when a friend said, ‘that would look nice on slate’, and instantly I thought of my bits of slate picked up from the beach on holidays by the sea…So this is an example of the result.
All my work; slate drawings, frames, mounts, and assembly.
