Saul's paintings are as much about how he is feeling as what his eyes are seeing. All of his work is made in situ. By painting on canvas, board and paper and using a mixture of acrylic, pastel, ink and pencil, he hopes to show the atmosphere and emotion of a place in a painting. He is much more interested in the crash of waves on battered cliffs or the flash of light pushing through a rain cloud, than something calmer, more still. These happenings say something more about human emotion and the power and beauty of the landscape around us. Each mark made and paint splatter goes into adding to a paintings over all feel, so they have to be interesting, almost moving.
