When I look at this painting I see the Moonlight shimmering across the ocean, then at other times I see a pond, sometimes it is filled with lillies. The painting to me, changes, leaving the viewer open to their own interpretation, the beauty of abstract. Undoubtedly, it is light on water.
The process of creating this piece was long, in all it has taken around 15 months to complete, maybe longer. I have often admired the build up of paint on my painting clothes. So, every time I worked in my studio, I smudged and wiped my hands onto this canvas (as I would on my trousers), to create a wonderful build up of colours. This is the background of intricate colours, creating depth and movement. The strong brilliant blues give the painting a very moody feeling, it could be day or night.
