My fascination for the movement of water spans many years and many pieces of music. This series of paintings were inspired by one small stream that runs down a shallow ravine on high Dartmoor in Devon. This stream is locally known as O Brook, and consists of a series of ‘runs’ leading sometimes to deep pools. At the end of each pool, the water drops (or slides) in a series of water-falls. It is the play of light and movement of water in the pools and falls that forms the basis of this series of variations.
