A really simple painting (but then I suppose all of mine are). I love this and I vividly remember painting it. It wasn’t planned, it just all fell together. I remember sitting panicked and trying not to rush as I felt I was on to something. I really think I was.
This painting however, is full of regret. I sold it and very cheaply, I wish I had held on to it.

Abstract Soul
“Abstract Soul” is actually a personal favourite of mine. I was experimenting on a piece of shiny backing paper from a picture frame and came up with this in about five minutes. I used a black marker and spread the paint with my fingers. It’s not exactly a master piece, but I’m fond of it. It coyly sits on the back of my chest of drawers but it always catches my eye.

Identity
“Identity” is definitely a painting that people find dark. I remember painting it whilst listening to ‘Live at the Gyspy Tea Rooms’ By Joseph Arthur (a great live recording, well worth a listen). I think I was actually in quite good spirits that day, but this is certainly brooding if not sinister.
