This set of pictures is from original notes and doodles from a small – lined (aside) notebook that was used as a kind of idea collecting vehicle.
Which I used as kind of backup on Shipping Hill 2013. Maybe so’s I didn’t forget things, although there are quite a few ideas that didn’t get much further at the time.
They are “little-big” paintings as such.
They started life as little more than thumbnail sketches with ruled lines and coffee stains thrown in.

My intention at this point is to form a cycle of scan – print – paint as an ongoing process, slowly building them up to a saturated level. With each process leading – informing & catalysing the following stage.

Then carrying through to a finished state.

They were scanned – enlarged & cleaned-up
then printed A4 size.

stepping out-side to try & change my mind.

At which point I very quickly (without forethought) threw water-colour-paint at them.

An all round story - I tried to keep this on as open as possible, but realise that I could have hurled more paint at it.
