This blog was started during a half-year sabbatical from full-time art teaching at St. John's International School in 2013 to develop my painting within the context of a Masters programme, charting my developing work in progress and related interests. Since retiring from full-time art teaching in 2025 I plan to continue to make posts that chart a developing meditative practice in art and life.

Abstract Realism ?

Oil Paint on Wood 30x40cm

Have just completed the second in a series of three paintings (the central part of the unfinished  triptych below) that explores both positive and negative space, asserting and negating both the picture and the frame simultaneously as the image of the work. Strangely it has a very formal abstract quality despite the trompe l'oeil realism.
