Painting in Red and Yellow

One of the few pieces that did not start with a particular sketch of a specific place or object.
An exploration of the spaces formed by our experience of our environment and landscape. Working with balance and almost-symmetries and texture of paint.

Ruined Cottage near Swinecombe 3

What started off as a painting wanted to become a drawing.
The version that for me best captures the atmosphere of the ruin: one of those rare Dartmoor cottages renovators and improvers haven't got their claws into!
