Ross Loveday

ROSS LOVEDAY

Ross Loveday was born in Bargoed, South Wales in 1946. He studied Optometry at the University of Wales in Cardiff and practised as an optician for many years before concentrating on his lifelong commitment to painting from 1990 onwards.

"I paint most subjects many times over so that it is not really the subject that truly interests me, but the many possible ways, and finally the only possible way of expressing it - it's then that I begin to feel happy inside. The subjects are only the starting points – sometimes small insignificant details or texture triggers a complete painting.

I try to capture the atmosphere of the British landscape. The transient mood and light of the four seasons is what I aim to achieve in my paintings. I hope to convey the feelings of the place and not its description.
