Impressionism

​

…an artistic style concerned with depicting the visual impression of the moment,

especially in terms of the shifting effect of light and colour,

seeking to communicate a feeling or experience

rather than to achieve accurate depiction…

 

Welcome to this online gallery. My home is in southern France, between the mountains and the sea. I’ve been gathering impressions of the hills and coastline, the changing seasons, and traditions and events in this region, and sometimes in other places: Portugal, Spain, England.

 

The rooms in this gallery show what I’m interested in. I’m fascinated by the seasonal changes in the landscape and the large and small elements within it. At the coast the boundaries between sea and sky and land shift and dazzle, disappear in mist and emerge again with the sun. It's great to feel in the moment and the flow with musicians I’m photographing. And my impressions of cities and the people in them are just that: moments that feel characteristic of a place and time.

​

Confinement 2020 is collection of images made during the eight weeks of officially imposed lockdown as the French nation responded to the threat of Covid-19. All the pictures were taken within 1 kilometre of home. I have arranged them as 18 pairs of images, to give an impression of the shifting and contrasting emotions generated by the experience of confinement.

​

Chalabre 2021 has been my first exhibition following the periods of lockdown response to Covid-19 in France : I have enjoyed the ability to explore other places and spaces as the country finds a way to emerge from confinement.
