His landscapes range over a wide area, but mainly cover Dentdale and the Lake District. All aspects of painting interest him, including portraits and figure studies and he enjoys using a variety of media. He was trained as an oil painter but finds gouache an interesting alternative as this allows oil and watercolour techniques in the same work. Painterly qualities such as the calligraphy of brush and pen are of prime importance to him, but equally important is the recording of actual experiences in the landscape. A sense of light is one of his chief aims and for this reason water, snow and sunlit cottages frequently appear as subject matter.

Many of his paintings have been used in a commercial context as posters, cards, calendars, and bookcovers commissioned by Shell, London Transport, the Department for National Savings, Royle Publications, J.Arthur Dixon, Penguin and Readers Digest. He has written for "Leisure Painter", "The Artist" and "International Artist", and has a book on painting waterscapes published by B.T.Batsford Ltd. He won the Jakar International Prize 1994 and the Royle Publications Prize 1995 (The Artist) He has exhibited at numerous London and provincial galleries. For further information see 'Exhibitions'.
