Pattern and form compete, shifting across the shallow picture space.

Thank you Ayden, much appreciated.

Colours and forms come and go as layers accumulate. Time, an essential variable, allows the painting to grow and find itself.

Yeah, good thanks Keith. Been a bit of a crazy day, what with the (inevitable) sacking of Thomas Frank. Now left wondering who's coming in to do the job at Spurs.

I look forward to seeing them.

Thanks, that's much appreciated.

Day Three. I'm currently transitioning from dairy to oat milk. Just wondering how long it will be before I don't notice something's different. Anyone out there had a similar experience?

It’s strange how a picture comes together. Sometimes the seeds of an idea are sown, and it can take years before they blossom into something concrete.

Thanks for sharing. I could almost imagine his paintings as the basis of an improv musical score.

Thank you @krisandherart.bsky.social I love what you are doing, the witnessing zines and the altered journals.
