Anthony sees himself as a "no-nonsense artist," however, his beautifully executed work demonstrates not only his skill but also his rare talent to express mood and emotion through the use of paint. His studies of Welsh ponies or sheep as they stand, poised before flight, in moorland flooded with clear rain washed light against a darkening sky, show a rare genius and mastery of his art.
