2013 - a diary entry

As the year draws to a close I'm either doing my spring cleaning very late or very early? I have deleted some work and added other pieces. My work has been moving away from landscapes during the past couple of years, even though I try to discipline myself to keep my portfolio coherent it just isn't going to happen! I enjoy painting a variety of subjects in a variety of ways, but I do feel I have a recognisable style in the application of media which is intuitive and joyous (when a painting is going well).
My current work is; memory based expressionist pieces, loose landscapes (often featuring dwellings), animals/birds, and a return to out and out abstract work after several years and this is surprisingly a very, very difficult genre to paint.
