Francis takes a great deal of inspiration from the landscape near his home in Stonehaven. From windswept harbours to patchwork fields, each of his pieces are carefully considered and imbued with an inviting atmosphere, encouraging the viewer to explore every inch of the canvas. Francis prefers to work intuitively without any pre-conceived idea or a specific composition in mind. He works in thin layers of acrylic paint which are built up to create layers of vivid colour, with collaged elements adding texture and an unpredictable quality to his surfaces.
