------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shown here is work from the last 4 or 5 years, after I resumed painting after a long break. I had stored various ideas in my head over the years, which perhaps accounts for the diversity of these works. Some are sketches, and not what I would regard as paintings. Unfortunately I am not in a position to paint full time, to try to extend or finalise all these ideas.

Above are three of a series of thirteen 'mood' paintings? based on the barcode image . An exercise in balance, harmony, rhythm and subtleness?

(Emulsion and PVA on board)

(Click on BARCODE page for more details)

'Focus' 'One sinister eve' 'Live's journeys' No. 1

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All paintings shown here, unlike those on the Archive page, are not shown in chronological order of execution.

An idea of sizes of the individual works will be added at a later date.

Another 'barcode' painting, with a difference, using colour.

A one-off idea or sketch. A little exercise to produce something that could be hung in any way

and still be balanced. White paint on un-primed board.

'Triple Vision' No.1 'Live's journeys' No. 2

'Triple Vision' No.2 or 'Lino Tiles'

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I many cases the colour reproduction, density, saturation and contrast is very poor. Some paintings are very subtle and of light tone. I must find time to take most of the photographs again, and trim them.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As mentioned somewhere on the site, I chose to use black and white for many paintings.

For another series of paintings, as another exercise, I limited myself to using the primary colours.

Below are two of these works, which are some of my most recent. Here I have returned to a more painterly and free style. I hope soon to include detailed close-ups of these on the appropriate page.
