today, about five minutes before the deadline, i handed in two paintings for the annual Halesworth Gallery Open exhibition. below are some photographs of one of the paintings - it is #118 in the catalogue, so there are at least 118 artworks in this art exhibition...shades of grey is one of a series of small paintings on wood, (wood that I found abandoned, lying on the road), and these paintings developed as 'incidental paintings' - using left-over paint from other painting activities - incidental in the slow making of them and in the textural patina and surface qualities. the loose formation of blocks and grids echo aspects of the local farming landscape - in agriculture, machinery and architecture.
