Are my paintings heading towards the beautiful bird designs you can find in French chateaus and English country houses? Quite possibly, but I have no concerns about this. In fact I think its definitely worth looking closer at this period of interior decoration. There may be some design elements that I can steal. I have no misgivings about heading in this direction. After all, hasn’t most contemporary art got a high degree of decoration in it? Much of it (abstract) I would regard as entirely decorative, more so than what I am trying to achieve.
Anyway, this painting is finished and I think the next one will be a continuation of the decorative style.
