Don’t be horrified by the colour ….. It will not last
This is just the start…. I hope they get adopted by the brother and sister

I think I might have finished this pair as well. Please excuse the picture quality ….. Again, the lighting in my studio is rubbish. The right hand canvas is lighter in real life

I think it might be finished… For now anyway. This is not how I imagined them to be, in fact not at all…. I did see some kind of Rothko deep nothingness, but I am not Rothko and not capable of that beauty.
I have two new canvasses waiting….. So let’s see how that goes

Lets have another one!

Cannot fail to be inspired by this

Thanks Bella , I love turners work but had not looked too closely as I have been trying to stay away from old favourites …… But now, perhaps, it’s time to bring in the big guns

Sorry Bella
Had to make the changes to keep the balance. Had to take a risk…… Only time will tell

Drawing in progress, started a while back but getting closer to finished stage


I quite like them as they are... But that's not the point is it? Not so keen on the aggressive blue

Trust me I’m an artist

This painting and the next are aimed at creating two very calm and restrained pieces. Whilst they do not look calm or restrained .... They will eventually. Most of the time I need to create some energy in order to react and respond. The two pieces will be unrecognisable in a couple of weeks time... I hope. Well that's the plan anyway. As always, any comments positive or negative will be most welcome.

At last back in the studio after a stupid long gap....and how I have missed it. This brother and sister combination are slowly getting there.they both need a great deal of over painting but are feeling good.
