I am definitely on a theme at the moment – my two newest paintings are both of birds! A bit of a departure from some of my other paintings – but still in keeping with the animal theme.

Like all my other paintings, I just paint what I “see” in the canvas. No plans to paint anything in particular. I just start painting and see what happens. The only aim I had with these two was to work with colours I don’t normally use – heading over more into the greens than I normally do. I rather like the colour combinations – I think I’ll do some more experimenting with this palette.
