New Work

Its hard to say where this work developed from apart from the local influences of the Southern Lake District and a continuation of the Mariners Tales theme (see earlier work)
What I do know is that the colour use of John Ruskin and J.M.W. Turner’s paintings/drawings are strong influences as probably is their subject matter.
A visit to the Glasgow Boys exhibition in April also introduced my palette to the use of a new weird colour for me – lilac !!!!
