Literature

A female figure reclines on a bed, poised, yet also as if in the middle of moving from one pose to another, in an-between forever fixed within the paint, suggested by the mixture of crisp focus and blurring in the gestural paint handling, which also extends to the way the interior is painted, with a large window view – all made of impasto layers of accumulated painting sessions of many changes towards a resolution of the visual composition and expression of mood and emotion, suggesting mixtures of longing, self-assurance, delight in movement and within the self, body and mind together, and the beauty of nature beyond the room and within the light-filled room, with vivid colours heightening our connection to these moods and with the way the image is created.
