This is another new painting on 300 gsm paper. To me it has the feel of Cubism however it is a spontaneous release of Emotional Expressionism. It is too soon to decide what might happen from here.

Altarpiece
This is a Modern Celebration of The Creative Power of The Universe.
A new painting on Seven stretched canvases…..a heptaptych!
When I lived in and travelled Europe in the 70’s I was always amazed by the Altarpieces. They are most impressive works of art and none more so than the famous Ghent Altarpiece. I had completely forgotten them till this new painting emerged.
It somehow just seems right to me to paint a modern version of these remarkable works of art.

The Wave
My work is very much about change. How we change and how the world around us changes. Also to remember that the essence of it all remains the same.

Feelings Of Utopia

I have always loved theatre, live performanes….in fact anything live on stage. Those lights, the darkness, the color, the sounds and the people…..all magical!!!! And with theatre is the symbol of Comedy and Tragedy. This image reminds me of it but it is different.
So here is another recent painting/mixed medium work on paper……

Confusion is a state we all go through at some time or other………..
With creativity it is a necessary part of the act.
We should welcome it …….embrace it but know it for what it really is …….. a place we MUST pass through.
For it is only by passing through the mental state of confusion do we come to see the light of truth.

I wrote the following poem as a direct response to seeing how young people are behaving badly after much drinking late at night.
Blue skies delight but not at night
For they take flight
before midnight
The way is clear
except with much beer
for then the fog descends
Obscuring reason and lighting up stupidity
But like all things
the day begins
anew.
Feelings are clear
without much beer
and light the day and night
for all is good
without
the…. could
the… should, the ….would,
and fogs appear only at our choosing.
