Things I’ve Noticed…

For a long time, I called this journal Studio Notes — a place to share glimpses into my painting process and the stories behind my work.

Over time, I realised that the beginnings of my paintings often happen long before I enter the studio. They begin with noticing: a shift in light, the colour of a field, the sound of birdsong, the texture of a hedgerow, or a fleeting moment in the landscape.

This is a place to gather those observations — the small things that catch my attention and, sometimes, find their way into a painting.

I’d love for you to join the conversation — if something here sparks a thought, makes you smile, or inspires an idea, drop me a comment! It’s always a joy to hear from fellow creative adventurers.
