Each painting represents something of a journey, usually into the light of the rising or setting sun. The rhythm in colour and tone serves to illuminate and emphasise each subtle twist and turn on that journey. There is a romance in the light with no hint of sentimentality in the disciplined compositions. Through many of the images flows the pervasive and ever present water, reflecting and shimmering, presenting a path upon which the viewer is invited journey. MARK BENNETT
