This view is of the Trattoria Centro Rampini in Mantua, Italy.

I love trying to capture the atmosphere and energy of a place like New York and it’s a subject I return to often. What I particularly like about this painting is the simplification of the subject and the freedom with which the paint’s been applied. I tried to create a balance between the cooler left-hand side of the painting with the warmer tones of the foreground building on the right-hand side. It always feels good when I capture a view that I could imagine myself stepping right in to!

I went for stroll at the end of the day as the sun was setting and there was such a joyful buzz of people enjoying a post-work/pre-evening drink.

Parting from it was made a little easier in the knowledge that its new home was going to be with an architect in Paris.

I’m often fortunate enough to meet or at least speak to or email the people that purchase my paintings. This one however, was bought at an exhibition and I never managed to learn who has purchased it. It had long been a favourite of mine and I would have loved to learn what it was that resonated with the person that purchased it!

The sun was just breaking through and catching on the puddles and dew on the field in the foreground making it sparkle.

This is the second painting I did (see ‘Sussex haybales’ for the first) from the same vantage point, but looking in a different direction. I came across the view on the way back home from a camping trip we’d been on. The view is near Hamsey, outside of Lewes and there was something quintessentially English about it. It’s always reminded me of the last glorious days of summer.

One of our annual family traditions is the pre-halloween visit to Poynings, just outside Brighton, to collect our supply of pumpkins. It’s a beautiful spot and we’ve often been blessed with some great weather on trips, like on this occasion when the sky was so dramatic and the grass of the neighbouring field a lush, vivid green.
