Inspired by the British landscape, Lawrence's evocative paintings illustrate the power of nature. He uses oil-based materials to give lustre, depth and warmth, along with layers of pastel colour to add softness. In addition to very soft brushes, he uses his hands and fingers to move the paint around, pushing one tone into another.

Lawrence says: "Living at the edge of a small village means that I can walk out into huge vistas with towering skies, or absorb myself in silent trees and foliage. As I grow older, I feel a greater affinity with these places."
