Live music, live art

Something a little bit different to my normal stuff. Mostly inspired by Vincents sunflowers, but with a difference, of course;-)

I think my painting style is emerging. A sort of graphic eclectic look. I love to sweep and squiggle the paint around, dragging it in swirly motions across the canvas. I'm having a lot of fun painting melting ice creams. I love the way that the paintings look like landscapes and sort of make a mockery of still life studies. I'm not sure if this is normal but I often find amusement in the things I paint... Like a visual joke, in a demented sort of way, images crop up into my head and make me grin.

My mind has become wary of conceptualising. It's good to just stop and have a break and let the images flow again, free from a self imposed mental constraint - be it a theme or knowing too much about where I want an image to go - rather than experimenting and evolving new ideas as I work. 

I suppose this piece is an ode to freedom.

No, I'm not dead - in case you were wondering. Just busy painting away. I'm doing a mural like canvas, the largest I've done yet. It's something like 1500mm x 2000mm. I started it on the floor and then hung it up over the wardrobe in our guest room. Enjoy:-)
