This approach has won Steve many admirers and in 2017 Steve won both “Painting Padiham” and the prestigious “Create Longridge” competitions. Of his Create Longridge entry, the judges commented on the joyous palette and wonderful composition of the painting, reflecting the beauty of the landscape in front of the artist.
