My work the last while has been moving in a more painterly direction relying more on colour, texture and stroke to express form. Using a palette knife and colour shapers have made this a natural progression in my work. Detail now needs to be simplified, and alternative solutions found to creating shape rather than using line.

As a result some of the interpretations are becoming slightly abstracted. Ultimately though the shape of the flower and vase can still be easily discerned.
