final flourish of the year and early signs of a new way forward

For the last five years I have been going out and painting on location. I have been taking those works as starting points for bigger works and indeed small ones as well. I have stopped taking from photographs and work instead from what was produced outside unless of course I am outside!
The work has changed radically from five years ago and I now feel it is the start of a new direction in application of paint. Gone are the accidents and effects and in comes more colour and actual mark making, hands on application if you like. Each mark made by hand, full of energy and engagement.
