    Dancing Abstracts

    I really love to dance, and it’s one of the things I really missed during lockdown. The clubs have been closed for over a year now, and in a way it was like a church for me. I am only half-joking when I say that disco is my religion…dancing to music takes me out of…

  • 5PM Challenge 107-128 Highlights

    5PM Challenge 107-128 Highlights

    This has been a long time coming, since the 5PM Challenge fizzled out in July, although I posted several pieces during that period that were earmarked for this without the 5PM Challenge tag or number – especially Windy Stormy Day, River Blues and Windy Day and Evening Crane.

Been working on this a long time it seems strange to finally post it. Of all my paintings this is probably the most representational. It’s funny, my representational work is getting…

    Painting #1 – Cool Blue Water / Hell Oh

    I’ve not painted in a long time – my previous work quite often included symbols (I used to doodle Paul Klee style characters on old computer paper), and my degree work used a lot of text, so this isn’t a massive surprise. I did a lot of work in fountain inks, Quink etc using them…
