The Sky shines in the canal. painted October 2020

Covid has had varying effects on me. Lutje and I have been in different countries since March. I t is not easy. I try to keep to the house being especially vulnerable, partly from my age but mostly from medical conditions. Also since I had to give up my car 13 months ago I cannot stray far!

I have tried to do lots of painting but it doesn't always work. But sometimes I have a burst. In particular, the canal next to the house and Victoria Park have been my inspiration.  I am doing many more, landscape-inspired abstract paintings

I want to show you these to get me painting and posting again  All three, 120 x  175 mm are mixed media mostly acrylic and coloured pencil on mountboard and were painted the same day in October. The sky reflected in the water and the dying vegetation.









 Over the next few days, I will try to post a selection of the many drawings, painting and photographs I have made over recent months as well as any new works I may create.
