So this popped up/out! Interesting to see how the mind wonders off sometimes... #workonpaper #acrylicpainting #contemporaryart #abstractart

A few weeks ago high light levels lifted the spirits and gave rise to saturated colours - a giveaway that the sun was shining brightly. Looking forward to warm and bright sunny days again... soon! #mixedmedia #markmaking #workonpaper #inspiredbynature #contemporaryart

Couldn’t resist livening up the colours🙂 - same starting point as previous post. #lovethatblue #trianglularpatterns #linesandshapes #mixedmedia #workonpaper #inspiredbynature #hedgerow #bythesea #larksascending #lappingwater #sunshining #lockdownart #islandartist

Lichen, blackthorn, brambles scrambled together... recent preoccupation! #mixedmedia #ink #oilpastel #gesso #acrylic #workonpaper #inspiredbynature #envelopedbynature #caughtinthemiddle #contemporaryart #artprocess #abstractart #lockdown2021

Ensnared - that Monday morning feeling - a couple of weeks ago - #mixedmedia #workonpaper #pastel #gesso #inspiredbynature #hedgerows #blackthorn #lichen #abstractart #paintingthefeeling #inamuddle #manicmonday

Recent landslip studies inspired by Jeremy Gardiner’s work Chapman’s Pool II Liz Hough’s Ways of Abstracting online workshop. #randomcomposition #jeanarp #collage #deconstructing #reconstructing #abstracting #automaticprocess #abstractart #lockdownart

Continuing my review of earlier lockdown work - this was frenetic markmaking in assorted colours as I listened to music and opted for a bit of escapism - it gave me pleasure at a time when I was stressed. #acryliconpaper #markmaking #listeningtomusic #getlostinthemusic

More looking back to help me leap forward! Inspired by Mozart Sonata No16 K454 Allegro #artandmusic #acrylicpainting #workonpaper #automaticprocess #artprocess #listenandpaint #musicandart #abstractart #markmaking #meditivestate #isolationart #covidart

Sometimes it helps to see where we’ve been to know where we might be going. This was another musing from the dark days of winter 2020. #abstractpainting #lockdownlife #linesandshapes #acryliconpaper #artprocess #abstractart #workonpaper #contemporaryartist

Sketching the night away - seems to be a habit! (This one is from a while back) #sketching #abstractart #workonpaper #acrylicpainting #contemporaryart

Looking back to last August 2020... another music study - Beethoven’ ‘Moonlight’ Sonata in C# Minor - 3rd movement #listeningtomusic #drawingtomusic #thinkingofcolour #artprocess #makingmarks #islandartist #contemporarypractice #languageofsound

Another trip to #ventnorbotanicgarden this afternoon to sketch. I decided to try some different colours and to be a little less abstract in my approach. I have taken inspiration from the wonderful flowers in bloom. #automaticdrawing #contemporaryartist #drawing #islandartist

Finally got back into the studio to start work in earnest! I am carrying on with work inspired by music. These are yesterday’s works in progress responding to Mozart’s Fantasia in C Major K475. #contemporarypainting #acrylicpainting #automaticprocess #musicandpainting
