I sense there is a sentimental, nostalgic, inward looking turn to my painting. I think this was something that was lacking from my landscape painting. I don’t think I was ever a ‘landscape painter’ whatever that really means. I think my subjects will be literally closer to home, like the apple tree in my garden. I like the start to this painting, I think I have got the light more or less where I want it although at this stage its all sketchy and big brushes with no signs of apples. These will come.
