" I like to paint subjects that display the drama that goes with strong lighting.  The modern landscape seems devoid of human life but the trees themselves stand like expectant crowds.

To convey the startling impact of a scene I use vigorous brush strokes and strong colour.  My priorities are those first  sensations that made me stop and choose a particular viewpoint"

Nick Schlee's dramatic works of the English Countryside are painted with immense vigour  and intuition.  Capturing in each painting the scale of such vast and complex landscapes with little concern for topographical detail.
