Artwork Description

The entire canvas feels like a storm of motion — looping, swirling drips of paint layered over each other in tangled, circular rhythms. Thick ribbons of color snake across the surface: electric blues dominate the background, while hot yellows, deep reds, magentas, greens, and streaks of white weave in and out like chaotic constellations.

Instead of clean brushstrokes, everything is built from energetic drips and splatters. The lines twist into spirals and ovals, overlapping again and again, creating dense knots of movement. Some areas feel almost vortex-like, as if the paint is spinning inward. Other sections stretch outward in loose, flowing arcs.

There’s no central focal point — your eye keeps traveling, pulled from one whirlpool of color to the next. The contrast between the cool blue base and the warm yellows and reds makes certain loops pop forward, almost glowing. The layering creates depth, like you’re looking into a colorful storm cloud made of motion rather than air.

It feels expressive and impulsive — almost like visualized energy or thoughts racing around. Not calm. Not orderly. But intensely alive.

Artist Bio

Have been painting in Oils for 20 years, starting off in a traditional landscape/still life style, but gradually evolving to wherever inspiration, and the paint and colour take me. I have Illustrated Children's books, working in Acrylic, however the flow, movement and deep depth of colour of Oil's are truly addictive.

My art is wide and varied, and provides me with endless joy, with the odd moment of frustration along the way. The joy of my art is that I don't put any restrictions on it. It flows, it comes from ideas, visions and sometimes just from playing with paint. The whole point of being a creative person, is to be creative, so I can't lock into a particular style and paint that style over and over. The closest I come to that are my fish paintings, but I love my fish paintings, they are so relaxing, therapeutic and never quite the same as I chase the swimming fish around the canvas.
Sometimes I will start a painting with a particular idea, or style in mind, but as soon as I apply paint to the canvas I see something happening that I simply can't resist. So the original idea is taken over by the intriguing possibilities of the unknown creation that lies ahead. Sometimes that creation is nothing special, or lost in the overworked searches for that magic painting that came from nowhere. Sometimes, that magic painting does come from nowhere, and I stand back amazed and wonder how it happened. My years of experience have taught me to trust my artistic instincts, so more often than not, I am pleased with the results.
I have no doubt that my unrestricted "style" probably works against my marketable profile, but I love the way I can paint with freedom and I cannot wait to see what I come up with next.
