some new ones are emerging, tried to put a reflected figure in the top left hand corner of this one but it didn’t work. no matter how small figures are in my paintings they usually don’t balance with the rest of the composition, I’m not sure why.

as a source of water to the many tributaries which lead to the rivers in the town a sketch of water cascading down through the landscape. i decided to leave the camera at home from now on to nudge myself more into sketching and painting outside, now the weather is warmer. it intensifies the first hand experience of engaging with the elements.
