My inspiration comes from many artists e.g. my namesake, Frederick ‘Golden’ Short, who often painted the light and trees in the New Forest. Trees remain a favourite subject.
Painting represents how I want to see the world. When I get an idea about something, the painting is a way of trying to express it for myself.
I rarely market my work. I paint mainly for the love of doing it … However, if you would like to buy any piece or request a commission, please get in touch through the contact page.
