Dockland At Dusk

Inspired by the newspapers, TV and cityscapes that infiltrate his everyday life, Neil’s old passion for painting was sparked once more during his travels. Surrounded by exciting new cultures, experiences and environments, he used his camera as an artistic outlet until he could return home and brush off his palette.

Whenever inspiration strikes, he tears out references from magazines or scribbles notes and sketches on scraps of paper.

"Personally, I like to build the picture up as a whole, slowly letting the image come into focus rather than working section by section. I also like to use my fingers a lot in the early stages - the versatility and speed with which the paint can be applied encourages me to work freely, energetically and instinctively."  - Neil Dawson
