Artist Interview
Here is an in depth interview about my art that I did recently with Ruan Shields recently.
The Humidity of and August Starty Night
I started this painting at the beginning of July 2020 with a few scribbles on this canvas and then went blank on it for weeks. Then one night in August I went all colour expressive with it, it ended up here. A closer look at this painting I finished last August 2020. I made aContinue reading “The Humidity of and August Starty Night”

‘The Humidity of an August Starry Night’
Untitled
Here is a small new work, untitled for now. Sometimes I paint these smaller ones while I am working on a larger scale painting. They help stop the over thinking and allow a sense of release when moving between the small and the larger scale
Watching the Stars Watching You
A small part of how this painting came about.

Making Space for Pink and Order
This is one of the fun parts of making the painting. One of the expressive parts for colour, as the values form from lights into darks. It’s almost like the colour is dancing along with the under drawing’s lead.
Aligning the Planets
Re-worked 2020Over the past few months looking back at this painting from 2019, the more I looked at it, the more I felt it needed refining. So I revisited it these past few strange weeks.
Reaction
Not to explain it all but this is somewhat the squiggles of my trail, both mapped and unmapped.
