In The Now sold I never know the direction

I never know the direction that a painting will take

I adore the shape of pears and love creating fun filled interpretations abstracting aspects from their overall shape

Soft flowing strokes juxtapose with purposeful defined lines to create a series which is both connected and individually representative

leave you with soft soothing feeling as the initially vivid and strong colours gradually dissipate away from the heart of the composition

An abstract artwork developed through many layers of visual interest and build on the expression of the artists feeling
