I try to capture that thing that others cannot see so they can experience the very essence of a single moment. The final of five pieces in my Introspection series. I started with an acrylic under paint then use a wide variety of tools and techniques to apply oil, and oil-with-cold-wax, to develop the main shapes and colour blocks, then spend hours adding the details and finishing touches. Bits of colour here, shapes and patterns there, individually painted marks and shapes, pressed-on patterns, paint applied then rubbed or scraped off to leave layers of depth. The wrapped canvas edges are painted a clean white; the piece can be hung framed or not. This piece works well on its own, or can be combined with others from the series.

I draw my inspiration from observing my own and other people’s feelings and reactions to life. I learned my process through practice and experience, but every time is different – and moving me towards an unknown and ever changing destination. After prepping the canvas, I generally start sketching with graphite, or sometimes very loose, thinned paint or ashphaltum, to ignite my creative flow and capture my current feelings. Occasionally I will use a quick-drying acrylic wash for an underpaint so I can block in some colour for depth, but not have to wait to really get at the painting using the oils I love. I love the fluidity and texture of oil paints and I mostly work wet on wet, where the surprises can be exciting and liberating. I always paint abstract, but often identifiable elements or figures emerge by chance. I’ve tried painting with acrylic but it is just not the same for me, my process requires the textures and slower time frame of oils. I work and rework a piece many times, adding layer after layer, then scraping back to reveal sections beneath. The process is very like a dance to music, steps forward then back, then forward again. Music is a great inspiration for me and helps me tap into my creative side. I always paint with loud, dramatic music filling my studio and pumping my energy (Queen is a favourite)! Self doubt and self-criticism are constants, though I think that has always been the case with artists great and small. The secret is to know when the work is done before you go too far and destroy the painting’s soul and message.
