Footnote: I was given a fabulous book on #RichardDiebenkorn for my 60th birthday. I am enthralled by his famous shifts from abstraction to figuration and back again, and am particularly drawn to his paintings with human and animal forms ambiguously appearing within his landscapes.
The curvaceous shapes in these clouds seemed to appear initially by their own volition, but of course I then exaggerated them. Maybe also with Matisse in mind. And someone said maybe a nod to Magritte too! Haha! Good company 🙂

Still just in first week – Maelor 1&2

The 2 canvases coming along now
Began to get a feel for where I’m going with these about 6 o’clock this morning. Painted furiously for a couple of hours still in my pyjamas!
Worked mostly on these 2 and put the first 2 layers on 3 x 50cm panels
Also working on a rough piece of unstretched canvas taped to a table
