Mark‟s distinctive paintings reflect his unique perspective and understanding of the landscape. Describing his work, Mark says “I make my work on location in the landscape. I seek to paint with directness and immediacy. I hope to convey a sense of engagement – a feeling of being there at a particular place at a particular time. Colour is a subject of abiding interest to me. Colour can help to convey the vitality of nature; colour contrasts can serve to clarify spatial relationships; subtle shifts in colour may set up a kind of vibration and energy – a painting equivalent to the light and heat from the sun. Colour has an intrinsic beauty of its own – it may be thought of as a celebration of being. I hope to convey.”
