Owen Henderson draws inspiration for his paintings from studying the Scottish Landscapes, and how the weather affects it. Using oil on canvas, Owen strives to portray the effect light has on landscapes and cityscapes at certain times of the day. He is influenced by the paintings of contemporary artists James Morrison, Ben Nicholson, Michael Andrews, Edward Hopper and Howard Hodgkins.
