As a forerunner to the triptych I posted previously, I sketched this. I didn’t like it, but someone got in touch to say they did, in fact they preferred it to the triptych. So I sent this piece, now titled My Wrong Is Your Right, off to Donna in the Midlands, along with another piece, Splashing Around, that I made whilst experimenting with blowing paint using an empty biro to deliver a high pressure burst of air.

These three pictures emerged when I found myself with a little time to spare in a hotel room in London recently. I was trying to see how I could use very wet paper (water dispensed from an Aquash brush) to move paint around.

The first image, Untitled, revealed something a little floral, maybe something about dance? The second, Roses In The Hospital, was a more deliberate attempt to blend flowers and blood (or red paint), and the third, Pressed, brought to mind pressed flowers. Well it did to me at least!

This work has been sent to a friend in Omaha, USA.

I painted this last November and forgot to upload it. I’m not used to painting on a square and I struggle to occupy the space. The picture was a birthday card and the intention was to come up with something abstract using liquid water colour on wet and dry paper. I can’t decide which way round it should go!
