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

A painting of layers—hidden and revealed. Formality undermined by the irregular and the awkward.

"one thinks with one's words, with one's hands, with brush and paint the idea is not behind the words or behind the painting but is in the words and the painting." ~ Merleau-Ponty

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.

It's one of the more useful dialogues to have. I often find that answers to current questions I have were answered a couple of years ago, waiting patiently for the time when I'm ready to see them, within the pages of an older sketchbook.

I was asked the other day how I felt about a new painting I’d just finished. All I could think to say was that I was grateful it had set me along a new path—a step on a journey (perhaps that’s all individual paintings are for the maker?). Let me know your thoughts.

At the weekend, looking through a stack of works on paper from the past 7 years, and I began to see them with fresh eyes. I noticed certain qualities I'd perhaps overlooked before, and this motivated me to begin working on some new studies. Untitled, acrylic on paper, 297x420mm. #paintingthoughts

After a break of a couple of weeks, this small painting, Japanese Moon, is now complete. A few final collage elements were added to vary the surface and gently disrupt the composition. It now feels finished.

Allow the paint to behave like paint. Detail. Work in progress. Painting rooted in reality, but letting the branches grow where they want. #oilpainting #paintingthoughts #studio
