All That is from the Light Series of works inspired by travels along the M4 to visit my elderly mother. The golden colours of Autumn are of course not precious in the metal sense. Trees shedding their leaves. A painting inspired by the old leaves fall and decay in unison with the loss of memory and vitality that my mother was experiencing.  Like gold though she continued to shine. This season is needed to prepare the ground for the new which will appear in Spring.

Whilst colour and movement remain key to my work sometimes it is just a subtle notion of movement. Time is passing. The light is moving so fast we don’t see it. Unusually I am moving rather than the subject. A snapshot burnt onto my retina to capture in this naive style.

I also took the opportunity to use different media with the Light Series of works. All That has had acrylic including some metallic shades applied with a stick as well as brush. The  piece includes gold-coloured mirror-leaf which gives a different look in changing lights.

Image: Acrylic and gold-coloured mirror-leaf on a 40 x 40 x 1 cm canvas on shallow stretchers. The image goes slightly around the edge. The rest of the edge is painted chalk-white.
Ready to Hang: D-rings and hanging cord attached.
