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.

Fragments of an ephemeral art history....

Oil on wood. 30x40cms 

Another painting finished today, a homage to the lost worlds of stone, paper, photography and oil paint hosted here in the even more ephemeral medium of digital technology. What is so difficult to communicate is the physical quality of the painting as an object with a tactile surface and the context of the real frame boxing the object inside a glass case which is surely part of the meaning of the work.
