Work in progress welded sculpture: Torso II (after Laocoön)
Work in progress welded sculpture: Torso II (after Laocoön) made from reclaimed metal. It’s early days, so my arc welding skills won’t win any prizes, but I’m having lots of whale of a time learning!

These are the results of three portrait practice sessions with my mate, Paul. He even managed to stop talking occasionally, so I could draw his mouth!

New Paintings II
New tiny paintings, all 15cm x 15cm, flashe vinyl on canvas board, except the last one (20cm x 20cm acrylic on canvas board).
New Paintings I
These are my latest paintings, all acrylic on canvas board (30cm x 30cm). I’m working hard trying to get some new pieces together for the Take Four group show in Beaumaris which opens this Saturday 14th August. In these pieces I’m focussing on the human figure as sculpture in order to investigate how we use memory/pattern recognition to interpret what we see. I’m trying to keep in mind Picasso (as always), David Bomberg’s early work, especially The Mud Bath and Vision of Ezekiel, Matisse’s cutouts and Nicolas de Stael’s footballers.
