A jewel coloured labyrinth where you can lose yourself

Cobalt blue invites you in

The lines between past and present blur

Understand the symbols lying therein

I usually have at least a couple of paintings on the go at any one time at various stages of completion.

Despite this the old artist block still sometimes hits and rather than give in to it I fiddle around with

other mediums, usualy on paper or whatever is to hand. It sort of jump starts the creative juices

or just reminds me sometimes of a colour mix or a stroke that I want to try and with that I'm off again.

Here's a mix of recent doodles.

The third and last one of these skins on Yupo pieces, at least for now. I really enjoy working with these colours but feel

the need to get back to the brights for a while.

I must be a glutton for punishment. We're enjoying the Lucifer heatwave at the moment, so think

hot, sticky and hideously humid, the studio temp is hovering around 31 degrees. Which is of course why I decided that

this  should be the week I play with paint skins, these delicate easily ruined strips which stick to each other and to me

in equal proportions. As you can imagine I'm having a ball hahaha.

When shall we three meet again.
Reminiscent of the standing stones
I've been experimenting with paint skins. Skins on Yupo  this is about 40 by 30 cm.

This was another find during the cleanup, it was half finished so I've finished it. It's 40 by 30cm acrylic and pen on canvas board.

I don't often use canvas board cos they sometimes warp - and I really don't like warped boards, but this was an exception and I must

admit it has a really lovely surface to it.

These colours are the antidote to the super hot weather we're currently experiencing

Spent yesterday having a massive studio clean up.I could have filled a beach with the amount of sand and dust?mainly due to all of the building works in our area,but also due to the fact that I'm not the worldsbest cleaner ha ha. Anyway I came across one of my favourite paintings and thought I'd show you best cleaner ha ha. Anyway I came across one of my favourite paintings and thought I'd show you

I live opposite a church in a narrow street where noise reverberates.

There's nowhere to escape this noise and this together with the extreme heat

we've been having has resulted in this painting

Every summer around this time, when the weather is really hotting up I reach for the turquoise and the blues

and begin a "cool" painting as a sort of antidote to the heat. This year is no different except that this year

the painting is inspired by the Saltpans in Gozo. I love the colours and the forms, the way the pans have been smoothed and

rounded by the elements.

Hey there to anyone reading this. Thanks for popping by.

I haven't done much painting in the last few days - well I've started quite a few,

scrapped a couple of howlers and sweated and sworn in the heat haha. Humidity has been at 80 odd percent

 - too hot to lift a knife hahah. Besides which I'm setting up a new shop which is taking time and patience

not good with either.

So I thought I'd show an older painting.

It's called Storyboard - inspired by the storyboards used in filmaking.

It's 60 by 90 cms and is still available

Here's one which I finished a week or so ago. I popped it onto my Fb page

as I couldn't think of a name and wanted to pick peoples' brains.

Thanks to Guzeppe it has now been named The Peeping Tom.

It was fun reading the names that people came up with.

Hi everyone, this is another work on Yupo - I really love this paper.

It's 20 by 30 cms unmounted, which means that if you choose to buy it it will be sent

rolled in a tube which ensures its arrival in good condition.

It also means that you can choose your own mount which is a good idea
