Three weeks ago I went to meet people gathering near Cambridge with whom I identify and whom I had only met through social media before now. The Friday night and then the breakfast on Saturday morning have, I think been transformative. Driving back, the thoughts and memories merged with the light over the road and started to form into this abstract which I have subsequently painted in oils.
This is how it started.

What a gorgeous painting.
Thanks. I’m new to oils. Now I know why artists love them.
Another portal. (K)
Yes. Maybe all my art is of portals
Wow, this is fabulous.
Thanks Rosie. What a great compliment.
Most dynamic. Cant wait to see more.
Well in truth I don’t know where to go next in oils. I didn’t know where this was going tbh.
Don’t worry, it got there! Very, very good
I have another painting in mind now …
See what you mean… halogen street lamp light meets Dante’s Inferno !
Not sure what to make of that but it’s pretty close to what I was basing this on as it happens. I’m just messing around in paint here without a clear idea what I’m doing.
There’s something magical about imagery that comes to you like that…
Gorgeous – quite inspiring- made me think about getting back to abstract painting.
Thank you
