Getting ready for a new painting means getting my head around drawing too. Not that I transfer drawing directly to the canvas it’s more like unpacking the images from my head which are derived from reading materials or particular concerns that I want to explore (duality of emotion, expressed through the physical). Between drawing and painting I get to evaluate the images because although complete on paper they have more to give in informing a painting.
I really want to get some of this new work out into the open now. It needs an audience to interact with it.
Over the next few weeks I will be posting more about my work/thought process.

What strikes me most about these drawings is the energy. These are not stationary figures but characters that are full of life and energy, whether kinetic or potential. Whilst potential energy is by default not a moving force, that potential is evident particularly in the crouched figure; coiled and taught.
Nice work. Can’t wait to see the painting that comes from these.

Ooo we have some interaction in the top one, interesting.
Lovely drawings as always, I can’t wait to see the progress of your thoughts to canvas. x
P.s I liked what PW said about the potential energy, thought provoking

Thank you PW, and thank you for dropping by.
I would agree that often these figures are rendered mid action. The coiled and taught posture is often moving away from rather than moving towards another figure (or the possibility of another figure) Painting next week!!!

Thank you Meg,
The top one feels like the whisper, conspiratorial perhaps, maybe, a threat.
