Early work using any old materials found in the studio.
The marriage of forms through branch connections...it reminds of early abstractions of trees by Piet Mondrian and some of the self-taught charcoal tree studies by Van Gogh. I wanted a fluidity of line and the scale of thepiece allowed me to get the human body in the piece.
'Airy Hill Road Farm II' (, 6x7 feet oils and acrylics on canvas ) , this was painted in a day in November after a week in the studio having a lot of fun with paint...these large drip paintings have the surface of large textile pieces aswell as the splashes acting as a veil for the image below.

Above this is the most recent 'Barnscape'...revisiting the first painting I did on Airy Hill Road three months on with a less illustrative approach and fuelling by the recent experimental work I have been doing in the studio since November. The image directly above is the 'Fall Trilogy' I am working on at the moment and the blue bands represent the close of summer and the linear branches are being visited with more vigour and commitment.
