Not quite done. I’ve realised I want to tidy up a strip of light blue on the right, given it’s acquired the status of galaxy. In fact it turned out that a much bigger and wholly, significantly, impactful change was … Continue reading Brighton Station then or now, or in between [final painting titled Marshmallow Skies]
This idea would be familiar to any working-class populations in the post-war North of England, where industry was just getting back on its feet. The white canvas becoming a burning book, factory chimneys, bleak housing, and what at this point … Continue reading Smoke, smog, and yellow air.
If you have a telescope. My course ends on July 3rd, but formal Assessment doesn’t happen until mid-September, by which time I’ll have forgotten I was ever on it. I have a choice; pack everything away and reclaim my conservatory, … Continue reading The end is in sight!
AR enabled. I had no words for this painting when I posted it earlier, and it didn’t go to my exhibition on the 6th and 13th of June because of its inherent violence. Now I do have the words, and … Continue reading War Flowers #2
This started out as plants. Became an unspecified seascape. Acquired an air-borne sea mammal. And then a time-lapse skyline. I’ve reached the point here where I have an image but no narrative, and without the narrative, there is no life. … Continue reading Rising weather
Some or all of these will be on show, dangling from strings of raffia and clipped to fairy-light pegs wrapped round a piece of green rope. Class. Church Side Cafe, Upper Beeding. Access via Church Lane or Pepperscoombe Lane towards … Continue reading Exhibition Candidates

First thing to say, just in case my work becomes internationally famous and people start flocking to the village looking for it, is that there’s no such feature as crater lake, there’s only the natural pond that’s been banked up … Continue reading Crater Lake v2
19th June 2026. So that’s it, that’s a wrap, show’s over! There are no sales to report because I wasn’t officially selling but I was persuaded to let a couple of pieces go to people who were willing to make … Continue reading Diary of an Exhibition
This is a scattering of random shapes, cut out and dropped/rearranged/pushed around on the 20 x 20cm canvas I’d primed using a leftover blue mix then scrubbed with a rough cloth. This revealed hints of the earlier neon orange layer. Quite a lot to like about this, including the colours and the unattached elements, even the tone of the board it’s sitting on! But it doesn’t say anything to me. No coherence, no story. These are small birds on what I intended to be green-screen, but they reminded me too much of what I believe may have been Romulan lettering … Continue reading Incidental Moon (previously Open door)
