Today while working in the studio I asked myself, Today while working in the studio I asked myself, "How do you shift and rebuild?" Stay focused, with one foot in front of the other. 

This sounds easy enough and like there's a red bow wrapped around the words. The reality is lots of time, repetition and calculative learning. Piles of notes and piles of thoughts.

Sonnet In Blue No.10 fine art prints now available.

Where poetry and paint collide...Sonnet In Blue No.10 weaves abstract gardens, petals, and hidden woods into a sky blue dreamscape. Inspired by music and verse, every brushstroke captures emotion and motion, blurring the line between nature and feeling.

I've been quiet, maybe even a little secretive abo I've been quiet, maybe even a little secretive about the abstract figurative work I have been returning too off and on recently. There is not a deep or profound reason for being quiet - it's pretty straight forward in that I just wanted them to be mine for a bit longer. Maybe it is just me, but there seems to be an odd letting go when I post things on social media. Something to think about I suppose.

More news about "Belonging No.11"...it's always nice to have work included in collections but to be a part of a larger, all-encompassing 'best of' year collection - very nice, indeed. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I have never thought of drawing as only a narrow mechanism to sketch out ideas for potential paintings. Instead, my approach to creating drawings is that they are fully developed, completed stand alone works that just happen to be made with drawing mediums.

What a nice treat to ring in the new year. The work selected to be part of this collection is "Belonging No. 11" an original mixed media work on 400gsm paper. I will write a little more about my thoughts on the strength and power of developing solid drawing skills in the days to come. You may enjoy this if you like underdog stories.

This is a trio of detail images from the original painting "Float No.26" recently selected to be in the "Pantone's Cloud Dancer" curated collection by Artfinder. Something nice about these closeup images is that you can see more of the intention behind the work. What appears to be minimalist and effortless is in reality a piece that has been highly edited, worked and reworked. Part of the challenge that needed to come across was the richness in the titanium white (with a tiny tiny blue undertone), developing thick/thin layers and then creating tension between the charcoal linework and painted areas. This was achieved by delicately lifting little bits of the charcoal up with the tip of the brush, glazing and then reintroducing paint over and over. Even though this is a 2 dimensional work, it felt like I was using principles of sculpture at times.
