Italian Lakes

The latest collection of sunset paintings are inspired by Lake Garda. Following a holiday in Lake Garda, Italy in July last year I had many ideas for new work. The views were fantastic and the place has become a real favourite, along with The Cook Islands. Although very different they both offer beauty, tranquility and much inspiration for my work.

'Lake Garda Sunset' portrays a simple view of the lake as the sun is setting. I painted it using acrylic paints but it has the feel of an oil painting. It's rich with colour and the sky is captivating, just as it is in the flesh. It's no surprise that this painting is already sold.

'Lake Garda Sunset II' takes pride of place in our home. I've kept a few paintings over the years and this one is my favourite. The view from our hotel, which was right on the Lake. A beautiful painting really capturing the essence of Lake Garda.
