I am Rodney Bastable, a Suffolk-based artist who has a passion for capturing that wonderful feeling of being out in the fresh air.

The Suffolk landscape and those fabulous Suffolk skies are forever inspiring me to get creating. I am always keen to work outside so as to really feel and, therefore, recreate that feeling of the leaves rustling in the trees and clouds drifting by.

I work in a variety of media, ranging from acrylic to soft pastel and embrace the challenges that come with each one.

Due to growing up and living in Newmarket, I also have a keen interest in painting horses and have spent many a day up at the Heath soaking up the atmosphere.
