Realism, sort of...

Sometimes my abstraction is closer to a representation. I’m not trying to be photo-realist, and anyway I don’t have the technical skills for that.

What I am doing is making it as I see it, which in my colour blind gaze is often a smash of primary colour.

What do I like here? I am fond of the two birds, and the Turneresque lighthouse. I like the various bottles and glasses images too – lots to play with there that I may come back to.

The palm tree collage was fun to do. I took my play with collage a lot further when I finally got to Newlyn art school in summer 2021.
