2014 was the year of paint, colour and canvas. Hard work, but bloody good fun. I’m mostly pleased with just about everything from this year. Which is high praise indeed from me.

The tentative plan for next year is to play. I want to stick to paint (or colour at least) but try out lots of different surfaces, sizes and techniques to see what happens. I fancy some big chinese Sumi-e ink work which will be a real challenge, and its not colour, but I should be able to work with tone. Maybe dabble in watercolours, but most of all I want to try acrylics on a bunch of different media – wood, home stretched canvas, metal even… who knows. Will be fun finding out.
That’s an impressive body of work
Thanks Rosie – its a cool thing seeing a years worth of canvasses in one place. The only issue I now have is storage…!
Oh yes. I have a cupboard full of sketchbooks, a plans chest full of prints and an attic full of framed work. I suppose I should try and sell them.
Yeah, same thought. It just cheapens the whole thing putting a price tag on your efforts. I struggle with that.
It’s tough but I am running out of space 😊
I love your colorful painting style. Each painting just pops out in its own individual way. Beautiful.
Thanks for the kind words Mel!
Your stuff is soooooo crazy cool. Very original.
Thanks Laurel – crazy, cool and very original… I’ll take that! :D
