PERFECT PICTURE

The beauty of fine art is one of life's joys. The challenge of producing a fine art painting outdoors on location allows for the opportunity of working in natural light making creative decisions informed by the direct observation of the subject. Through this experience Stephen hopes to create an image of greater integrity of colour and light. A work that is truly fine art... Fine art paintings by Lancashire artist Stephen James Cross. Stephen works from life observing the subject rather than an image of the subject such as a photograph. He works extensively en plein air, a French phrase meaning "open (in full) air" often used to describe the act of painting outdoors.
