I enjoy painting 'cornered' still lifes which allow more depth. Patterns, Stems has two vases, two flowers and two backgrounds. It took me some time to work out the composition so that the halves connected. When I went back to it, maybe the light had changed and a dried stem had moved. I kept discovering things I had missed. It came together when I found the two ribbons of shadow that ran down the middle of the painting. My practice is immediate and spontaneous. I paint experience rather than appearance, with honesty about what I see and feel and how the painting is made. Brushstrokes and grounds are exposed, the process visible. I am looking for the cracks in the everyday: moments of strangeness or beauty, humour and the surreal.
