paintings
a little aside


...is a collection of pictures, colours, words and ideas that have stayed with me.
drawn from life, there is a human presence.

a lot from a little... all the paintings are guided by this principle.
the panel is a beautiful support for a meagre gesso and pencil drawing.
egg tempera, in the tonal underpainting, is used to create a sharpness and light in both atmosphere and touch.
the use of coloured pigment with dammar and oil draws focus.
beeswax softens and unifies the panel.
all layers are visible trapping images between layers

all panels 48''x 24''
