I seem to have been away from the site forever,sorry really slack of me 

anyway here are some of my latest paintings done during lockdown.if you are browsing the site please excuse the mess, as you can probably tell, I’m just all about the painting  stay safe.

June. a fruitless month? some titled and untitled new work.

  March 2019.

Here we are on the edge of another season.
I enjoyed the Melbourne festival in September and I think I am ready for the Banks Mill open studios in November.
I have been combining brush and knife work in the last few pictures I have made.
I have really enjoyed the process of underpainting the canvas and letting it dry, covering the whole thing with a top layer of mixed colours, then scraping back through to the original colour to add depth and detail, looking for “the Picture”,
Uncovering it gradually, letting it reveal itself until I reach a place where I think its ambiguity works.

I have been using brushes recently to keep myself moving and learning.
It’s a departure from the knifework but I have been enjoying the different approach.
It started with some quick sketching on paper and then drawing straight on with the paint.
I hope you enjoy them.

Acers.

Yellow poppies.

Stargazers.

Sharing a similar palette and my usual looseness with theme, it’s all nature it’s all about colour and mood.
