Happy Accident

There is nothing I like more than when acrylic dries and causes fascinating images to happen  you cannot really plan it, when painting I like to leave a certain amount of paint to just dry on the surface of what I am using as a pallet at the the time , here is a result and you can make of it what you will!!

A Review of Paintings so far


 At what point does a collection of paintings become a installation if that is what they want to become?
I certainly see the possibility of this arrangement of paintings being one in the sense the arrangement being as important.
I can see them on a wall and perhaps growing organically...
The images are of how perceive the world and could be... needs more thought.
Then of course do the stay on the floor and meant to be viwed that way or are they meant for the wall......?

A Secret Cove

A secret cove, just waiting
has always been there
will always be there

You have not seen it before
Experienced it before,its moods and secrets
To you its a first time
To the cove it is now
