I have been thinking about Play, having watched children and the spontaneity with which they play. I have found it inspiring and It got me thinking about my own use of play within art, and how I played as a child, why it meant to me. The thought process has lead me to approach my work in a more playful manner, and I think you can see this particularly through recent work.

This painting is pivotal to this. I wrote about play directly onto the work - a stream of consciousness about the meaning. Using my trademark Natural Mineral Paints which are such an important part of my ethos.

Framed in a natural wood it is a modern, abstract piece full of energy and joyfulness.
