­These are a new adventure, a departure from the Quotidian Angels – some friends will say, ‘Thank-you’. (smile). They are a return to landscapes. They all have two things in common: Two Paths. In Panel 1 there is the obvious stream – an old stream that once had a mill, hence the stone sides – but a walk path bisects the image at eye height. In Panel 2, again the obvious path climbs the hill centred in the image, but off to the right down in the valley runs a stream parallel to it. In Panel 3 (which I am least please with at this stage) the simple path divides into two – one heading up, the other descends to the right. Two paths that lead in and out of the canvases, towards and away, coming and going, here and not.  

These are works-in-progress.

My First Steve Carty

This is my first Steve Carty photograph. She is at the framers until early in the New Year. After that, she will hold pride of place at the top of the first staircase. To me, she holds a deep sustained note audible only to they who can 'see' the music.

Small Abstract with Orange Blob

Small Abstract with Orange Blob,

Oil on canvas, 30cm x 30cm

I use small canvases as palettes. Once the palette is full I set it aside until the paint is dry. Then I gesso the canvas again and use it for quick gestural abstracts such as this. I love the uneven, unexpected, lumps and bumps I encounter. Look at the centre of the orange blob. There is a huge lump of left over paint. Click on the image for full size.
