From an early age I was drawn to warm windows on dark nights. I always remember travelling past pubs and wanting to be inside, enveloped in lamp light. Staithes is one of those cosy villages where you would love to be a part of the community and I think this painting sums it up. The inspiration is overwhelming, urban night scenes are on your doorstep, gritty inner city canals lit up with sodium glow contrasting with the neon lights wrapped around Bridgewater Place. The Atkinson Grimshaws in Leeds Art Gallery are a constant influence, as well as the BT box graffiti. All this, and to be surrounded by the Yorkshire Dales and Pennine Hills. As a painter you don't have to travel far for a life times work.
