Landscape Oil Paintings Painted in My Studio
My studio is where my outdoor art inspires more art
Welcome to my studio, where it's as much about how it feels to be there, as how it looks. This art's inspired by my outdoor paintings, and in a style I call 'Romantic Realism'More on this soon. My studio is where I'm experimenting with big dollops of artistic license while still keeping it real.

About these original studio paintings
All of these paintings are oil on canvas. The larger works are on stretched canvas, while the smaller art is on canvas board. Their inspiration is real places, and they all start outdoors with sketches and paintings made on location. My largest paintings are in this studio collection and they take longer to complete than the other art.
It's in the studio where I do a lot of planning for these pieces. I call it 'meddling', mostly with 'compositionAn art term that means the design of the picture'*. I rearrange things, resize other things, and include or exclude things for example.
Despite all the meddling I do, I still strive to create something instantly recognisable. Yes, that's contradictory, and I like the challenge it poses.
The studio is also where I can experiment with style. My work is rooted in realism, hence the importance of my outside art.
No matter how much I meddle with a picture, I'm always aiming to create something representative and recognisable – 'realistic'.
There are many ways (styles) of applying paint to make art that looks realistic, and it's in my studio where I can explore these styles.
