It is early Spring on the tranquil Basingstoke Canal in Surrey, England near my home. But where did that gorgeous crazy turquoise sky come from?
It was inspired from watching a televised interview with the celebrated English poet Philip Larkin in a churchyard (he liked exploring churches). I was struck by the artificial colours of the background rendered by the camera lighting.

I’m Colin, a watercolour painter based in Surrey in the UK.
For the past ten years, I have painted almost exclusively in watercolour, exploring its subtleties and unpredictability. I'm constantly astonished with what can happen with coloured water!
My contemporary, collectible artworks bring character and mood into your home, inviting both contemplation and quiet enjoyment. I paint what moves me, when it moves me, and share it with people who feel something similar.
I explore the landscape searching for ideas, moods, and atmospheres that resonate with me. I particularly like contre-jour or 'against the daylight'. I take many photographs - fragments of light, shapes, or details and combine them with borrowed elements to create paintings that are emotionally true rather than geographically true.
I try to choose titles that give a clue to the idea behind the painting and hopefully trigger discussion.
After this decade, I hope the care and depth of my work show in every painting.
I owe much of my artistic development and showcasing work to local art clubs. Their expertise, experience and encouragement over the years has been absolutely key to finding my 'voice'.
Grateful thanks owed to: Saint Andrew's Goldsworth Park Art Group, Pirbright Art Club, Guildford Art Society , Chobham Art Group and Pirbright Painters.
I also exhibit with Village Artists , a collective of mostly Surrey artists.

Todaiji Great Eastern Temple is one of Japan’s most famous and historically significant temples and a landmark of Nara.
The temple was constructed in 752 as the head temple of all provincial Buddhist temples of Japan. Todaiji’s main hall, the Daibutsuden (Big Buddha Hall) is the world’s largest wooden building, despite the fact the present reconstruction of 1692 is only two thirds of the original temple hall’s size.
The massive building houses one of Japan’s largest bronze statues of Buddha (Daibutsu). The 15m tall, seated Buddha represents Vairocana and is flanked by two Bodhisattvas. The Kagamiike (“Mirror Pond”) is in the foreground.

My work has covered a wide range of subjects and styles, including landscape, marine, architectural, portraiture and fantasy, using watercolour, acrylic, gouache, or mixed media. Variety has been an essential part of my work, with equal opportunities for a disciplined study or a creative self-expression.
I now work mainly on art commissions using watercolour or acrylic and would be happy to discuss your specific requirements.

I have exhibited at galleries in London (including the Mall Galleries and Westminster Gallery) and the provinces (including Royal West of England Academy) and received a number of art awards. I have also provided artwork for use in tourism literature, charitable and commercial Christmas cards and building society calendars.
My works have been purchased by art enthusiasts in the Netherlands, USA, France, Spain, Australia and throughout the United Kingdom.
West Street, Dorking, is renowned for its intriguing collection of antique shops, including the Malthouse Antiques Gallery.
In December 2015, the shop window was decorated for Christmas with a beautiful painting in a shimmering gilt frame, two deer atop marble globes, a white horse beside a pot of flowering poinsettia and glowing spotlights illuminating the display – and the artist just had to capture the scene!
