The Artistic Urge from Prehistory to the Present.

Its good to see that my work is still up in The Waterfront gallery, just moved into the corridor.

I have been inspired by an exhibition I have seen recently at The New Cut in Halesworth.  The artist Bob Royston has used some beautifully serene colours and has some really interesting textures in his paintings. I was lucky enough to have a Chat with him about the textures in his paintings and was surprised to hear what they were. However he swore me to secrecy and I am not one to break a promise!

The next stages of my artwork.  Its so hard to know when to stop, it could be finished at any point, but I have felt the urge to keep persevering with it. So far I have used oil paint, emulsion, oil stick, sand, enamel paint, pencil and iridescent glitter. I’m still not happy with it and think it needs a few further touches. I’m keen to have it finished so I can move on to the next canvas that i’ve made.

My new work in the studio. I have been experimenting with metalic paint and mixing colours on the canvas with oil stick in order to create depth.

From my sketch book, oilstick, pastel, pencil and charcoal on paper.
