Description Ink and Tea on bockingford watercolour paper, 50 x 70cm
Defiance is from a new series of work starting to look at connections between ourselves and nature. I have always been interested in non physical connections between people and objects. My work attempts to make these connections visible. Current themes extending beyond the realms of nature are interests in the celestial and also the collective consciousness. Building towards an exhibition 'Invisible Lines' this November in Hong Kong, the work explores how these connections can extend beyond the physical and the metaphysical.

without looking at the title you immediately feel resentment from the stance and angle of her chin. i really feel that the lips seem soft and the eyes seem to wander or look away from you but emotionally there is a very clear message. amazing detail and beautiful colors!!

You are continuously improving. Lot's of details are introduced in your younger works, that would not have been there two years ago. May it be the patterns now visible in the stains, or the technique of erasion used in Castle of Pretending.

Wonderful!

Thanks - it's a slow change too and some become impatient with it but I enjoy evolving the work slowly - allowing it to chgange organically - nice you've noticed - appreciate it - thanks for following

You do have my patience. I understand the need for organic development, it heavily reflects in your work... keep it up this way.

I have trouble comprehending how you make such a beautiful piece of art. I mean, the lines are just..wow. I cant yet understand how others can be so creative. I mean, do you picture all these lines and shapes as shown or do you improvise as you go? I wish i was this good.

paintedmonke [2013-08-09 09:48:36 +0000 UTC]

Beautiful work!! I follow you in your artwork. It's growing! Nice to see the perfect balance between geometric forms, for me the mail side and round lines, for me the femenin side. I can look tot the painting and always ze new things...it leeds me all around. Maybe a little thing.... my attention gets drawn to the bigger spot under the left eye and stays a little longer than inside the rest of the painting. But I realy love your work!

Thank you so much - I never edit - so in cases like that spot... I know it's there too... it just has to live there

What a talent you have, nice artwork... not just nice but very good. Keep up the good work and when you are hanging in an art gallery somewhere giving competition to the Mona Lisa I'll be able to say I know your work.
