Another abstract piece I’ve been working on in recent weeks. It’s possible this blitz of colour is partly a reaction to the onset of winter. I’m not ready to submit. The wildflowers are gone, the leaves are vanishing and it’s too goddamn dark. 

This painting isn’t quite finished and I think there’s something sinister about it…a sort of shadow hanging in the centre like an ill omen. I’m not sure if I should fix it. 

Work in progress, oil on linen, 36 x 55".

Here’s how that abstract piece is turning out. Still some tweaking needed, but probably of the subtle type that will make no discernible difference to anyone but me.
