At last I’m getting back to extended painting sessions. For the past eighteen months I’ve been working on installations and commissioned work. Although it was an exciting time for me I have really missed painting to my own agenda, at my own speed, with no-one to please but myself.

The painting above is very recent, completed a week or two ago. It really reminds me of one of my second year degree show paintings. But if you compare the two it’s easy to see how much I’ve progressed. The theme is similar but the process is more refined and the use of colour and texture is more complex.

I will talk more about my themes, techniques and inspirations in later posts. I intend to post more frequently and regularly.
