Boyd Waites

Always most interested in our natural surroundings and people and their inner emotions and feelings Boyd says his work is about “being”, he’s painting human moods and senses using a language based on landscape that is universal. He is not interested in faithfully depicting a particular place and his work could be categorized broadly as Abstract Expressive Landscape.

Painting in oils as Boyd finds the natural softness and long drying time suits his process, Boyd is always experimenting and loves working with oils using his hands, rags, brushes often reducing back paint and manipulating the surface. Working on several pieces at any one time, contemplating and coming back and working/re-working until he thinks done.

Boyd feels he’s in a race against time and to catch up. There is an urgency to what he does as he continues to push forward.
