The aim for some time now has been to keep pushing the way I am making these paintings, so much so, that I’m not quite sure what to make of them. Surely what appears must be unfamiliar to me, that’s what I want. One consequence of this is that in the early stages I am painting on intuition in the hope of discovering the ‘right way forward’ what ever that is. It seems odd to me that after so many decades of painting I have suddenly felt a sense of urgency. That’s no bad thing, should have discovered that 30 years ago.
