WATERCOLOUR LANDSCAPES
Living and working in the Peak District, it’s no surprise that many of Geoff’s atmospheric paintings feature the diverse and beautiful landscape of the region, with its meandering rivers, steep dales and valleys, farms and villages. Geoff, who turned professional in 1998, has also been spending time in Suffolk and Norfolk collecting subject material at many of his favourite places along the Heritage Coast, where the vast skies, fens, marshes and coastal clutter, provide an ideal contrast to his home region.

Geoff’s traditional style of painting aims to capture the essence of the subject. Loose enough to be atmospheric, yet containing just enough detail to be both accurate and satisfying on closer more detailed inspection, his intuitive use of colour in bold flowing washes, is underpinned by his firm grasp of perspective and draftsmanship, complemented by a strong sense of place.

TEACHING AND WRITING
Finding himself much in demand as an artist, teacher and demonstrator, Geoff runs watercolour painting breaks and one day workshops at the Pear Tree Farm Arts Centre in Derbyshire. He has written articles for The Artist and Illustrator, and Paint Magazines. His first book was published in summer 2004 Details are available on this website.
