New Plans for 2021

I finished my body of work The Anatomy Lesson and I am developing new ideas to work on next year. In the meantime I'm doing finger exercises, making small sized landscapes, memories from my travels, in the real world and in my inner world. They help me to loosen my brush stroke, to smear my oils across the canvas as I explore new ways to paint. Here's the first small piece, with Pre Existing Condition to show the scale, they'll all be 18 by 24cm. It's a transitional project, until I'm ready to start painting on a new body of social commentary artwork in 2021.

I hope the light will return next year, after the darkness of 2020. May you all stay healthy and safe. And may we meet our friends again in the real world, next to the virtual one, which has proven such an ally in connecting us with each other.
