The experiment continues and I have started a number of new images - at present waiting for multiple paintings to dry and then review. This is where they currently stand.













It has been fascinating working in this way and at present there are some images that I believe work as separate paintings and whose marks could not have been done any other way. Now the dilemma  is to review and to consider working on them as individual pieces and to maintain the spontaneous approach ... 
As part of the process I have worked on two other individual images the first is 50cm x 50cm and was painted from all angles and does not necessarily have a right way up.




There is no narrative, no known outcome and is in its current state for the moment - it may remain as is but for me, a painting is like a conversation that you have momentarily stopped but does not necessarily mean is finished.


This next image is 6ft X 4ft and is a response to ... divine proportion and Michelangelo's Creation of Adam?




Again, this has gone through quite a number of incarnations and is a response to ... in this case, being painted  outside and the dappled light falling onto the canvas plus underlying all the imagery, Ken Nordine and his Colors.


What next? Who knows!
