Thank-you Julie. I love working with purple-blues, especially when they are mixed with white, and it is exciting for me to contrast them with peachy colours to bring out the saturation.

Thanks Allan. I appreciate your remark very much.

I am very pleased to like this one, Alex. I was trying to get to the core of the colours and form with too much detail definition. I enjoy the paint when it just starts to create a feeling of solidity and form, and I wanted to stop at that point. I like the feeling of a painting being of potential, rather than realizing that potential. In my own work when I try and realize the potential of an emerging image, I am always disappointed.
