Finally, managed to spend some time on a painting that I've been working on. Its taken several transformations along the way, and has in some way reverted back to earlier work; although I don't feel that it has been a backward step - revisiting past ways of working and colours has taken me forward; in more recent paintings I have felt that some element for me has been missing. Going back to under painting and building up layers and creating slight surface textures is something I like to do and in this painting I feel that some of that has returned.
New work in the just three words series will have elements of this and each painting, although basically the same dimensions will develop differently in terms of materials and styles - its a challenge I am looking forward to.
The other series I am undertaking is one which hopefully will let me explore a different way of working, using many different materials - ones which I am not familiar with and in some cases have no skills in eg creating neon lighting! More on this series as it develops.
At present I have not got a title for the painting... one thought was 'not jimi' (as in Hendrix) which came about in a conversation with Oz one evening!
Still thinking.

Hi Paul,
I really like your "Wince" painting. I don't suppose you have a higher res. shot that I could use as my desktop? (I'm on a 1280x1024)
Hmm, now that I think about it, I guess artists don't like giving away high res. photos of their work. :-/
Oh well, great painting anyway :)
Matt
