I seem to be on a sort of mission with landscapes. I’m so bowled over by the beauty of what I see in reality that no matter what I put down, no painting comes close to measuring up to that feeling.

When I think of other artists’ work that get closer it’s always less naturalistic, more ‘painterly’ if not completely abstract.

So here’s the latest small step in my quest - this time exploring an autumn scene using palette knife, scratching and brush on a bright pink background.
