Redspin Really Rocks!

Hi all
Yeah I know, the abstract bandwagon just keeps on a rolling! With copious crimson’s and an imagination fed on Stephen King and hard rock music my mind is simply… um, a little blown away! Well, sometimes it’s fun to just…


LET GO!!

You know the feeling? Go where the mood, the flow takes you. Sometimes your art can just slowly ssssslide into a so so rut, a trap, a mediocre manor of your own making. Keep churning out the same safe stuff until…

OK, don’t worry I’m not about to renounce all things sane and embrace some hideous retro art movement. I fully intend to create plenty of luscious landscapes, sizzling sunsets and a myriad mouth watering African panoramas. However (and it has to be said) it’s refreshing, rewarding and absolutely reinvigorating to embrace a big healthy dollop of the new.

So art lovers, here’s Redspin (Acrylic 24"x30"on box canvas) today’s labor of love and another very, very rewarding piece to ‘work’ on. Sometimes a painting like this seems almost to paint it’s self. As if the plan, the blueprint already existed and was merely waiting for my muse to capture and decipher it. Hope it's to your liking.

Catch you later
