See how this painting evolved. I photograph my work as I go, partly to do a value check here and there and partly so I can revisit decisions and see if I have made the right one in terms of moving the work forwards. And yes, sometimes I feel as though I'm going backwards, but I get there in the end!
This painting went through so many changes and different layers before it finally became resolved. Check out the colourful beginnings and watch the work unfold.
This painting was the first in my new 'Distillation Series'. I was exploring a new way of working and pushing my work towards greater abstraction, trying to make landscape references more subtle and challenging myself to find new ways of 'seeing'.
