Jagged greenschist and mica-schist rocks comprise the rugged landscape of Start Point, it is one of the most exposed peninsulas of the English Coast, running a mile into the sea. The name comes from the Anglo Saxon steort meaning a ‘tail’. I have tried to create an atmosphere of distance and solitude in these paintings and imbue the pictures with a timeless quality. They are never just landscapes. The paintings explore man’s position in the landscape, his very existence; the lighthouse becomes the symbol of that existence.
