as my mind wanders on (2023)
There is no doubt in my mind that I was dreaming of Wales when I painted this. The rolling hills, the wind whipping through the lush grass, the rocks, the sunlit valley… and the mountains way ahead, shrouded in mist and low-lying cloud.
The split between a sense of realism in the foreground and somewhat surreal or suggestive view in the distance, is a wonderful illustration of the way my mind works. These days I can truly appreciate what is directly in front of me, but my imagination is hard to tether, and I still dream of – and eagerly anticipate - all kinds of possible views way up ahead.
Part of my solo exhibition 'returning to the source' which opens at Wallace Gallery, Morrinsville on March 18th 2023.
