After The Storm ii
23 x 23cm acrylic on canvas. Framed.

Part of a sub series for the Bath Art Fair and inspired by the local coast after the February storms. 
Distilling sensory information into a few simple brush strokes, choosing colours and textures that enhance the blooms, tuning into the marks and colors that resonate with my creative practice. Colour fist, then texture then the subject forms.
 
The collection of paintings for the Bath Art  Fair see a paring down of line and design to express and freshness and joy in the start of spring, and a new era.  I am distilling, on paper and with paint, what matters most to me in a painting.  I'm enjoying the challenge of stripping back extraneous detail, working out how to best use line, design and colour to communicate my joy in experiencing the subject.
