In January 2022 my New Year’s resolution was to create ten new paintings within the year. It had been ten years since I gave up my artist’s studio, so I aimed to mark this milestone with one artwork for each year of not painting.
As the year drew to a close, only four paintings were done. Some of the others didn’t quite meet my standards, and a few remained works in progress. Not what I initially hoped for, but still very pleased with the results and happy to be painting again. It is also a good reminder of the importance of starting the work and accepting it will not go according to plan. This is when creativity flourishes. So although it took a bit more time than anticipated, I’m delighted to present my collection of ten new paintings!

Each painting is 30 centimeters wide by 40 centimeters in height and is painted with oil on linnen. The repeating pattern represents our social fabric and is a pattern I used in one of my first paintings around 1991 and have often used since.
