'Storm'

Creating the painting below was great fun. I found that I got completely absorbed into it as it progressed because I had no particular image in mind when I added the oil paints to the surface. I started off with randomly adding blobs of two shades each of; blue, red and yellow, then washed with thinner to spread the paint around. Once the whole surface was covered I used various objects; a comb, a pine cone, a roller and wood to create marks in the image. When I was happy with my mark making I finished off dripping shimmering ink on to it. Stepping back is when it's title came; 'Storm', that's what I see. The beautiful colours created by a storm out at sea. Different people see other things in the image and thats good because it makes a person stop, look and think.
