“Delusions2”
Flat, uninspired, bland. Maybe it was the rain and the sky looking like the bottom of a bucket. Whatever, I took brush to canvas without really thinking about it and the result is above. It feels better; I’ve tackled the … Continue reading “Delusions2”
Delusions of Rio Grande
This is based on a photo taken from the new bridge. The line of pinkish growth is a long stretch of reeds which crosses the often boggy, uncultivated fields. The yellow area is actually a bright green because it was … Continue reading Delusions of Rio Grande

Clearly very different in style, I made these alongside each … Continue reading Stylised shrubs and misty, foggy river bank
Fields at Beeding
Unfortunately, I can’t remember which ones! In this series, I’m painting over old pieces that no longer have relevance and so they come with their own underpainting. This is another 6×8″ canvas. I’ve done a lot of finger-blending with this … Continue reading Fields at Beeding
Copyright: third party music files
For some years I’ve been adding audio tracks to my artwork, largely since I began making video based augmented reality versions. The tracks have all been free to use for non-commercial purposes. But with the prospect of using these AR … Continue reading Copyright: third party music files
