Landscapes

I’ve recently returned to painting after many years away, using landscape as a way to relearn how I see. Because of my red–green colour-blindness, I’m exploring the woods and natural environments tonally rather than through representative colour, letting contrast, light and mark-making carry the image. The work is less about accuracy and more about finding a new visual language that feels true to my perception. I’m sharing the rough, awkward early pieces publicly, not because they’re resolved, but because persisting, documenting, and being accountable to the process matters more than producing something “finished.” It’s a journey back into painting, and I’m letting the learning show.
