This painting is part of my abstract series “windows into other worlds”. It is painted intuitively, playfully, with one development leading to another, over many layers, allowing the story to unfold, and the painting to have its own life. I love abstracts because different people see different things, and I don’t want to dictate the meaning. But if you want to know, I see this one as a movement from dark times into the lighter times. I see the two dark “figures” in the bright white area as having travelled from the dark lower patch, up into the lightness, where there is more activity and colour and action… hence the title “my compass points North”. It is as if you can see the path they have trodden, perhaps it was even underground. To me this painting is about finding your true direction, and taking the steps necessary to travel on the path out of the darkness and into the light. It is painted on a premium canvas with artist quality paints and is ready to hang. It has a matte surface so will not bounce back glare if hung opposite a window
