Piece description from the artist
Farm Dogs often barked as a walked across the landscape of Somerset England. The painting not only includes an abstraction of the sound of the dogs, but also the sound of mourning doves, the sound of the River Brue ( a slow moving river), plants and three park benches. My landscape paintings are propelled by a number of things, including the love of paint and abstraction, but most importantly, by a desire to do my part to help make the changes in philosophy that are required if humanity is to create a sustainable future. By studying the land and responding to it freshly, I hope to demonstrate attachment, respect and engagement. And if the paintings are good enough, they will find their way into public life to do their job of representing the joy of living in the world and the wonder of perceiving it, and if they succeed at this, to evoke the will to create balance within it.
