March and April have mostly been taken up with working on this large painting. It was a pleasure working on a large scale again. This level of detail allows me to really lose myself in the painting and the journey of these lines. This is the last painting I will complete in preparation for my exhibition at H … Read More

I am intrigued by the prospect of my drawing morphing into a totally different object with … Read More

I spent most of March repainting the background of Perinone, the mauve colour was too light, it was worth making it a dark chocolate brown, the space in the painting works much better now. The photos for March are of No 1 the painting Perinone 167.5x76cm in the studio between the first and second coats of paint for … Read More
