"The new series of paintings presented me with the opportunity to engender them with a new sense of place.
This was prompted by a second trip to Scotland in 2004.
I continued to construct
the new works by developing active edge structures, defining
boundaries, and the introduction of a dominant architectural device
(motif). However, this time I was challenged with a number of new
concerns: the predominance of green, the rapidly changing light
and atmospherics, and the underlying but ever present sense
of mystery that pervades the land.
Perhaps more importantly these factors were underpinned by an engaging
strength of character and stoicism within the Scottish people.
I have included a number of lead up works which show a changing
palette and a change away from the predominant horizon division
which characterised many of the earlier works."
