Art Therapy

The Big Picture (30x22in.): This work on paper began with cut-up bits from a Robert Bateman calendar and progressed very quickly, spontaneously, intuitively. Is it a satisfying piece of art on the whole? It satisfied a need for a pent-up energy release that has been brewing within me for some time. The need to engage with paint, to let loose, to free myself of the Inner Critic.

Below are sections from the whole, which I find interesting little compositions in themselves.

Portal

Mab

Rainstorm

Midnight Train

Milkweed
