In and Out of the Studio
Working practices, work in progress, ideas and inspiration.
Recently I have been spending a lot of time working outdoors, creating paintings using elements such as flowing water and natural materials such as river sand and leaves, letting the location be a co-creator of the work. Some paintings have been made entirely outside on location, others are started outside & then worked on in the studio, other pieces are made in the studio, using ideas and materials collected from the site.
