SCOOP AUCTION 2022

This piece is inspired by a long lonely drive entering a new environment; a new time.

Late December, as we drove through deserted streets on a solemn occasion, the bridge held poignant memories for me. The overlay of oil paint in this piece resulted from an outpouring of emotion.

I stretch my own canvas using canvas or linen. Usually in multiples for a series of work.
I work with acrylics and oils. When using Acrylic paint I like to mix the pigment with a carrier solution to determine the intensity of the colour. When working with oils I usually work slowly with multiple layers, adding and subtracting elements to the work. A series of work develops around a central theme, working from my sketches and my photograph research.
