some little blue paintings no 1

Back in England.  A slight cheat with  a few small paintings made shortly before I started this blog
Simple colour schemes and brusque direct brush strokes. All very intuitive.

Apples in the sun

There has been a delay in posting and also a break  in painting. the last post was sent whilst we were still in Belgium and about to travel back to UK.  Then I did something a bit silly, and unplanned. Dreaming of escaping from a gorilla I threw myself out from  a rocky ledge backwards onto a sandy bank. But I was dreaming and it my bed, not a  rocky ledge and a hard floor not a soft bank.  Nothing broken though, but a bit of bruising and stiffness, yes. No painting for a little while. But here are three little paintings from around that time.  They are more like thoughts for a future painting
