New beginnings.

Drawing the process of growth in freshly cut lilies ....... 

Trying to allow each of the these observational drawings to encompass the whole of the plant's cycle of respiration or 'breath-energy' - here are the first stages of growth

.....and later decay as more stages follow and become superimposed on this layer. More to come....

Here are the first three stages of a new painting that continues to explore ideas about the figurative and the abstract, where the picture and the frame begins and ends, what is space and what is surface, what is real what is illusion, what is revealed and what is hidden ? 

Still thinking about the architecture and psychology of the picture in relation to doors, windows and walls and how these mediate boundaries between inner and outer worlds.
