I'm primarily a watercolour landscape painter specialising in mountain, desert, Arctic and wild coastal scenery, although I do some of the more gentle countryside scenes at times. I believe in a total first-hand experience for absolute authenticity - if I want to paint a polar bear I go and look for one. In return nature rewards me with some of the most exciting moments of my life. For me, art and nature are inseperable. I have written 14 books, about half of which are practical guides to painting and most of the others about the countryside, home and abroad. I also have seven DVDs produced by APV Films available, on painting in watercolour, and write for Leisure Painter Magazine.
My home is in the lovely Wye Valley in Mid-Wales, and my wife is the brilliant pastellist, Jenny Keal. She shares my passion for art and nature, though she tends to be less wild.
