A short video where I complete this painting is in this blog post and, if you managed to get to read my last post then you may see a very tenuous theme emerging, one of slumber...
A preoccupation of painting can be to keep external thoughts (other than painting) at bay. So circumstances such as world news inevitably filter in to my head when I am painting.
Delving into a title of one of my paintings completed in 2016; for this canvas I was inspired by a dance titled Tipping Point. Little did I know that this term would be used in quite an unexpected way in 2019
It is not always easy to know whether or not the idea is strong enough for it to become a painting but with The Swimming Pond, once I had the drawings figured out I knew I really wanted to paint it and create a fusion of the experience of relaxing near water.
