In this video, which was filmed and edited by Miheer Shetty, I talk about my retrospective show.

Annotation and thoughts on the small sketches. I have enjoyed this experimentation with smaller canvas’s, reducing the size has been helpful in the regard of the process.

1024 colours (1973) is one of Richter’s well-known colour chart paintings, which he began producing in the late 1960s. They were inspired by the commercial colour charts found in hardware stores.

The poet Gerard Manley Hopkins begins his poem, by giving a simple judgement about spring, there is nothing more beautiful.

I bought this canvas from a charity shop I find this a convenient way to paint on a larger scale . I also like to use recycled materials in my practice.

“Good painting is like good cooking; it can be tasted, but not explained.” Maurice de Vlaminck.

Exploring and experimenting with colour as it is an important part of my painting practice. To explore mark-making, composition, space, and light within my process of painting.

Art can carry a message and provoke thoughts and feelings; this is what Abstract Expressionism, in my opinion, is about.

This oil on canvas was a direct response to the photograph below. I liked the blue of the sky and how the yellow Forsythia was lit by the street light .

I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos on the painting process. I have been inspired by the artist Liz Ackerley and her artistic process.
