So why the Snail?…. I like Snails, I like painting them and I feel I need to concentrate on at least one or two themes to have something coherent to show. I have recently been getting some images of my work collated to put on the web sight I have been building and a lot of the work looks very disjointed. The themes that are interesting me and I want to continue are the Snails, and the Oldfruit paintings I have done. Other work has been more about exercises in colour, and just getting back the feel for the paint.
I also gave myself the task about a year ago of keeping a regular sketch book again. Trying to do a quick sketch most nights before bed and some how there is a snail on each page. I am currently turning some of these quick sketches into lino block prints. So Snails for the trail it is……
