Behind a Painted Smile - in progress. This is the title I've been allocated to produce a 7 x 7 inch painting for the Beep Painting Biennial 2024 long list exhibition, on the theme 'I Won't Stay in a World Without Love'.
I usually work in very thin layers on smooth panel, and I'm enjoying a more direct approach using oil painting paper. The exhibition at elysium gallery, Swansea is from 09/11/2024 – 21/12/2024. See https://www.elysiumgallery.com

I Have to Praise You Like I Should, 2023, The Reading Group exhibition, Cardiff
I particularly enjoy the stage when the initial drawing is complete and I've started to underpaint the figures. This detail of a painting I'm working on The Tide is High... is approx 10 x 10 cm
