I have been busy finishing, photographing, framing, and listing sizes, titles and prices for these new (all but the last one)paintings to be delivered to Juno Gallery on Friday. I've also been writing an 'artist's statement'.. I quite enjoy the challenge of putting words to the images....
'In these oil paintings I am exploring colour, and in particular the interaction of one colour with another
within the painting . My recent work has been described as both 'optimistic' and 'poetic' - I hope you will
agree!
My starting point is the effect you get at dusk, that luminous quality of light on the garden, particularly in
high summer when my garden is bursting with colourful flowers. Known as the Puskinje effect, the garden looks
as though it is lit from within. Bonnard called it 'l'heure bleu'.
I want to capture and evoke the magic of it, or the 'enchanted moments of heightened perception' to borrow
a phrase from Kenneth Clark.'
