Dan Wellington

Born in Bedfordshire, I spent the early part of my career training and working as a chef. Many years later and having worked in numerous restaurants as Head chef I felt it was time for a new creative challenge. Travels across Asia followed until I finally settled in Woburn Sands in Bedfordshire where I was to concentrate on my new found passion of landscape painting with the aim of becoming a contemporary artist. I work in oils, using palette knives and brushes to create a variety of effects and textures that build depth and atmosphere into my work, with light and its effects being the main focus of my landscapes. Photographs and sketches are used as reference for my paintings, but I rely more heavily on memories from my time spent in the great outdoors. Many of my works and commissions hang in private collections across the U.K. I continue to paint from my Bedfordshire studio. Exhibitions.
