While in the Andes I realised I had to try my knowledge of materials and involuntaryism to depict mountains the way I saw them or how I wanted them to be portrayed.
Concentrating on how the snow on rocks appeared from a distance. I knew the mixing of the paint and different materials in their cell like textures would give the viewer just enough for them to create a snowy mountain in their head. It’s taught me a lot more than the sea ever could about the materials and colours I use. The evolution of my practice has been at its height since starting to paint mountains.
