This is from a photo I took recently in St. James Park in Central London. I’m really liking using acrylic on watercolor paper. Since we are getting ready to move, I’ve packed away most of my other mediums and turned to acrylic and watercolor paper because the paints dry fast and paintings on paper don’t take up much space. I’m starting to even prefer acrylic paints on paper over gouache.

Continuing pushing into abstraction, here is a painting of grasses.

I'm continuing to play around with intuitive abstraction.

I am experimenting with starting with loose pastels, then spraying with a fixative before painting over with acrylics. I went in at the end with a little more pastels. This is of the Japanese Gardens at Kew Gardens, London.

This is a quick gouache painting of the Great Pagoda at Kew Gardens, London.

I’ve recently decided to revisit abstraction. I did a lot of it in the 1990’s but haven’t been interested since then. But for some reason I’m suddenly interested again. This is my first experiment. I started with soft pastels and then moved to acrylic paints. I think it turned out ok, and plan to do a lot more. I feel like it may help with freeing my mind and creating my style. Even if not, it’s fun to play.

We had a fabulous AirBnB in Palm Springs. The back yard looked out at a golf course, of course.
