2020-Now

116.  THE SEASONS

These were started at the same time as Pohádka yet all bar one are  waiting to be finished.

117. POHÁDKA

Stories I told myself that got me painting again after a long gap. With much rethinking and endless revisions, some fell by the wayside leaving at the moment four paintings in their final form and another one in progress.

118. FLOATING

Part of my long-term fascination with Korea, A geological excavation of a dream.

120. MANDALA

A homage to a parted friend and amongst many other strands. This is the final version, an early version surprised me with echoes of a painting by Poussin. The companion piece as if viewed from within the main painting was mapped out in 2020 but not painted until February 2025 and as of March is maybe not the final state.

 

 

 

122. PORTRAITS

 During lockdown, I was asked for a self-portrait yet had done nothing similar for over 40 years, so a learning curve. here is a selection.

 

 

 

121. INTIMATE GAMES

I try to make these light and playful.

 124.  MUSES AND OTHERS

The first of a group of Ikons for Muses, Goddesses, and Spirits. 

New versions of these are on the way
