Painting 2026

Paintings, studies, filmed fragments, weather, paths, people, photographs, the edges of days, and the landscape from which paintings are built.

Mirrored Egret

A study. I saw this bird in Belfast for the first time earlier this year. During the flooding. Since then, I've seen it a few more times near Minnowburn and Gilchrist footbridge. The composition needs simplified.

Sculpted Tree

In the centre, an oddly shaped tree that appears sculpted, manicured, but also remote, incidental, happenstance.

Self

A study. Derived from a photo taken by Fiona. The wind was blowing, I'm holding my left hand up and squinting.

A Snow Covered Field

A Study. Drafted in minutes. Enough.
