The Style

The paintings are representational in a traditional classic style produced in both oil and watercolours. The landscape and architectural subjects are confidently presented with precision and subtle brush work , in true colours.

All the paintings draw the viewers eye to details which capture those magic moments of light and shade, so overlooked by those with a less observational skills and perception.

The Paintings

Richard’s success has enabled him to travel extensively in Spain, Italy, Egypt, China, Thailand, Cambodia USA and Australia, from which he has created collections of work depicting his journeys. His recent paintings are strongly influenced by his Spanish environment.

The Artist

Richard Wood was born in London in 1950. From early childhood he showed an unusual flair for painting and drawing and at school excelled at all art subjects. After leaving school he commenced training as a textile designer.

ln 1974 a chance meeting with John Miller (1931-2002),a well established internationally known artist, encouraged him to take up painting professionally and since 1976 he has worked as a full time professional artist. initially, from his studio in Lancashire, but now has a studio near the picturesque village of Mijas in Southern Spain.

The Mission

"having painted professionally for 35 years l like to think that l can master the elements of light and shade. I believe my paintings are an image that develops our understanding of the subject, which is often unseen by those it surrounds. My inspiration focuses the attention to nature,the landscape and architectural images, the subjects that surround us"
