I don't know why I like these paintings - perhaps because some of the scenes look so familiar to me (places I went to as a child), or perhaps it is the contrast of the colours that attract me. Or perhaps because these paintings capture summer, I can feel the warmth of the sun on my back and smell the summer grasses. I don't know - but some reason I like these - even is they are very controlled and smooth.
To my dear brother Nick (if you are reading this) - do these paintings remind you of your childhood?

These are some very flawless paintings. This artist seems to be very precise with everything. They are interesting to look at.
