I have moved house at the start of the year and as time goes on I’m unpacking numerous amounts of books, more books, paper, paints and even more books. I never realised the amount of stuff I have until I gathered it together, put it in the one place and then tried to lift and carry it between vans, driveways and up staircases…
I unfortunately won’t have my internet up and running until early March. My blog posts and all forms of social networking have dried up and will no doubt remain quiet until then.
That’s not to say i’ve stopped reading, writing and being creative, I will be back in touch soon.

Below is a couple of my recently completed works.
This painting on the left ‘Autumn Grass’ is warm and bright, yet holds an aggressive feel to it due to the over powering growth, a growth that makes the viewer wish they could see beyond into the distance.
Autumn Sunset (right) showcases the warm colours that appear when the sun slowly disappears behind the hills, although in contrast to this warmth, is the cool, icy waves that grow as the day draws to an end.

I recently came across the painting Capetians Everywhere, by Georges Mathieu featured in Abstract Art, Taschen and instantly loved it. The energy and spontaneity of it, as well as the composition, colours and depth he achieved. I have briefly looked into further pieces by Mathieu and have really liked them, some of which are shown below. I am off now to read more about one of the leading Abstract Expressionists Georges Mathieu.

On looking through various works by Jackson Pollock, there is one in particular I keep going back to. This piece for me, express’s energy and movement, yet it seems very controlled with an intentional composition.
I love the colour choice of brown, black and white. I believe these neutral colours allows me primarily to see the fast flowing, varied width strokes, before getting drawn further into the depth of this painting, and at this point I can explore the shapes and negative space that this painting holds.
I think if this painting was painted using more primary colours, the colours would distract me away from seeing the flowing journey of the strokes and not allow me to appreciate the complexity of this painting.
Autumn Rhythm, Number 30. 1950
Oil on canvas

Here is a selection of work I have created in relation to a recent commission. My brief was to explore abstract cityscapes, I investigated the colours, shapes and emotions that came with my subject and now have a varied range, some off course, pieces under my belt.
