The ongoing matter of looking up is sill very much just that, ongoing. Something that started in Margate in late Summer and goes on with several new paintings looking over the River Thames and most recently a painting looking beyond a church in Hackney, (I shall post an image of that one later, I need to return to that church again this week while the Autumn light is so good). No idea where these Skyline paintings are going to go, or for how long the series of paintings will go on for, right now I’m enjoying the act of just looking up, of distilling the information, the sky, the space, the shape, the skylines, the sky beyond the rooftops or the spires or the light reflecting of the Shard. Someone asked if I was putting these paintings together for a show, the answer is no, not really, although there might be some bigger pieces being painted. Most of these smaller 20cm square canvas pieces have already been sold, indeed people have been asking me to paint particular buildings or places, it doesn’t really work like that though. Still need to get back to the sea with all this looking up though… .
